'Adenle is crime fiction's best new voice for years' LEE CHILD?
'Leye Adenle has my vote for crown prince of crime writers in the UK' JAMES ELLROY
Bobby Fatokun is no stranger to conspiracies. A former police officer turned 'Bad Coach', he spends his days reforming corrupt officers within the Met. But when one of his clients requests an urgent meeting, then immediately turns up dead, Bobby realises something much larger than the two of them is at play.
Doubting the official verdict of accidental death, Bobby's investigation leads him to the church where his client had been working undercover. But he isn't the only one looking in this direction.
The church's wealthy pastor has a powerful enemy at the heart of the British Establishment - one who will stop at nothing to neutralise a threat. As the pieces of their dangerous gambit fall into place around him, Bobby will have to tread lightly, or his search for the truth will have deadly consequences.
