The second of two classic police thrillers featuring detective Nick Miller, set in London's seedy underworld.
After a long night on the job, Detective Sergeant Nick Miller is on his way home only to become the first policeman at the scene of a young woman's mysterious suicide. What's odd is that it appears she tried to conceal her identity before doing herself in.
Miller follows a hazardous trail to find the powerful man responsible for the girl's fate, only to watch him walk out of court a free man. But the dead girl's father swears to exact justice with or without the law on his side
In this top-tier mystery fiction, Jack Higgins, the Sunday Times bestselling author, weaves a tale of suspense and action. The narrative is a thrilling adventure into the depths of crime, where justice seeks its own path.
For fans of David Baldacci (The Edge), Ken Follett (The Armour of Light), Frederick Forsyth (The Veteran), Mike Maden (Clive Cussler's Hellburner), and Alex Gerlis (Agent in Peril).
