The Heights - Paperback

by Parker Bilal (Author)

What starts with the gruesome discovery of a severed head on the Tube soon becomes personal for former DI Cal Drake. After one betrayal too many, Drake has abandoned the police force to become a private detective. He's joined forces with enigmatic forensic pathologist Dr Rayhana Crane, and it's not long before the case leads them to the darkest corners of the nation's capital and into dangerously close contact with an international crime circuit, a brutal local rivalry, and a very personal quest for retribution. With the murder victim closely tied to Drake's past, his new future is about to come under threat.
