A man lies beaten to a pulp in a deserted car park in Maidstone, Kent.

His own brother put him there.

Josh Winters never saw it coming. He trusted his brother Alex. He always has.

Detective Abigail Morton is embedded in a fractured source-handling unit on the Kent coast. She’s working a dangerous informant operation against the Winters’ criminal gang. Everyone says the brothers are untouchable.

But something is shifting inside the organisation. A crack running through its foundations – and Abigail is close enough to feel it.

Getting close enough to use it is another matter.

But now she has a way in.

Josh and Alex’s mother, Betsy, is willing to turn on her own sons . . .

Perfect for fans of Line of Duty, Angela Marsons, J.D. Kirk, Stuart MacBride, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.
