A DEADLY BROADCAST

One live stream. Thousands of viewers. One very public execution. When small-time drug smuggler Sammy Bickle becomes the internet's most talked-about secret, DS Max Craigie inherits a case that was never supposed to exist.

A CORRUPT NETWORK

The trail leads south to Plymouth's port, where bent officials and a ruthless crime family have built a multi-million-pound smuggling empire - and will do whatever it takes to protect it.

A DEADLY RECKONING

With bodies falling on both sides of the border and leaks poisoning the investigation at every turn, Max must go deep undercover. In a world where organised crime owns the people meant to stop it, who can he trust?

Praise for the Max Craigie series so far . . .
