DCI Anna Travis is ready to head to Quantico, VA, for a training exchange; however, she has one last case to follow up on. This involves information from a man on trial that the death of London nightclub owner Josh Reynolds, ruled a suicide six months ago, was actually a murder. Instead of a quick wrap-up, Anna finds problems with the way the original investigation team handled it, and her exchange replacement, senior FBI agent Jesse Dewar, is making more enemies than friends at the Metropolitan Police. With her flight to Quantico approaching, Anna must choose between uncovering the truth of Reynolds's death or protecting her people.
VERDICT In her latest outing after Backlash (first published in the UK in 2013), Anna Travis is now a seasoned investigator and willing to go to whatever lengths necessary for her job. Once again La Plante delivers a quality and complex police procedural.
