Father and Son

Someone wants you dead. You don't know who. Or why.

John Ray is called to the scene of a violent murder. The victim is an old associate of his father, local crime boss Tony Ray. There's no obvious motive for the crime, but everybody agrees on one thing: don't tell the police.

John, the charismatic, Cambridge-educated white sheep of the Ray family, has always refused to be part of his father's business. But he's also a bit of a maverick, with a foot in both worlds, and he's not quite as white as he would like: exactly the kind of person you'd want to investigate an underworld murder.

The fast-paced search for the killer takes John Ray back to events twenty years ago, and to another, even more heinous crime. It's a gripping ride, but also a painful one for John personally, and he doesn't really know what he's looking for. Until it's too late.

Plus, he's not the only one looking...
