‘Lewis is a master craftsman.' Literary Review
POWER. AMBITION. AND A KILLER WHO'S BEEN PLANNING HIS MOVE FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Business consultant Mel Chapman understands the rules of the boardroom. Smile. Shake hands. Watch your back.
So when he's hired by QUARTA — a struggling British media giant — to broker the deal that could save it, he expects the usual politics. But he doesn't expect to walk in and find his ex-girlfriend sitting at the table, married to chairman Frank North.
Then North suddenly dies.
A quiet heart attack in a deserted lay-by. The police quickly dismiss it as natural causes. Case closed.
Chapman doesn't buy it and neither does Detective Inspector Cubb. Together they uncover a stream of anonymous phone calls, mysterious payments to a Paris bank account and a wartime secret someone will kill to keep buried.
As Chapman is pulled deeper '' and closer to Susan — he realises that this isn't a takeover.
It's a hit. And the killer is still in the room.
A masterclass in suspense from one of Britain’s most accomplished crime novelists.
Perfect for fans of Dick Francis, Joy Ellis, Faith Martin and Peter May.
