McBride wants to do what? The man's gone mad!
London, the mid-1980s. Frank McBride is divorced... again. He had been turned down for promotion... again.
He's a customs officer, not a social worker, but sometimes he forgets. He's made a promise and promises are they only thing he has left to keep.
He volunteers for a job nobody else wants: going undercover to infiltrate the Cassidy organisation, a Bermondsey drugs network with tentacles reaching all the way to the Costa Calida. To earn the trust of a retired kingpin enjoying his sunshine retirement, McBride does something no sane officer would ever attempt, and the fallout puts more than his cover at risk.
Wry, dangerous and utterly authentic, McBride Undercover is the origin story fans have been waiting for: how a jaded, chain-smoking customs man became the legend at the heart of the series. Perfect for readers of gritty, character-led British crime with a dark comic edge.
Genre: Mystery
