‘Some writers talk the talk, but Roger Price walks the walk.’ Stephen Leather Detective Sergeant Martin Draker is a seasoned officer who clears cases - and not always through conventional methods. A reliable informant, Abdul Bashir, tells Draker that a corrupt police official is passing sensitive intelligence to criminal Dan Manning, a vicious Manchester armed robber and drug dealer, who is also importing heroin from India. Abdul Bashir then goes missing. Field analyst Cath Moore, a former journalist who switched careers to join police intelligence, is investigating an upsurge in deaths caused by a new drug – Sky White. Manning commits an armed robbery and leaves a body in the burnt-out getaway car. Draker fears it is the missing informant, Bashir. A note threatens more deaths unless the police cease their investigation. Moore launches a TV appeal warning of the dangers of Sky White. Manning is incensed; she could kill the new drug’s market before the supplier makes a return on his investment. Draker and Moore pursue Manning, who in turn is hunting Moore to silence her. An audacious plan to capture Manning fails, only for Draker and Moore to run into Manning's own trap. Roger A. Price left the police as Special Operations DI and became an Amazon bestselling crime fiction author.
