Summary
When two bombs explode in an East London street, Thomas Pitt of the Special Branch is called in to investigate. Two men are arrested and one shot dead - but who and where is the killer? As Pitt starts to investigate the crime, he uncovers truths more disturbing than the acts of a few misguided idealists. There's a web of corruption within the police force, and all the clues point to Inspector Wetron of Bow Street as its mastermind. Worse still, as head of the sinister, invisible Inner Circle, Wetron has powerful allies in every sphere, and it's almost impossible to pin his guilt to him. Then Pitt's most deadly enemy approaches him with the proposal that they join forces. Pitt feels he has no option and in spite of the danger to himself, his family and his colleagues, he must agree.
