**A cruelty like no other...**DCI Darren Mitchell knows that when things are slow in York, they don’t stay slow for long. But he never anticipated that an underground ring of dog fighters would be his next case. It doesn’t help that he could use the distraction from the lingering family issues he’s having to deal with. What Mitchell never expected was that his family drama and old friends from the past would be caught up in the dog fighting scene. It soon becomes clear that this is about more than just stopping animal cruelty. If Mitchell wants to keep his private life and professional life separate, he will have to get to the root of this underground operation and smoke them out.
