Synopsis

**A dangerous drug is spreading through Washington, D.C.—can Marko Zorn take down the company behind it?** Washington, D.C. homicide detective Marko Zorn takes on a far-reaching, complicated investigation when a narcotic more deadly than fentanyl spreads across the city, causing countless fatalities. His search for the people behind the off-label drug leads him to a Big Pharma company run by mysterious, psychopathic twin brothers. Anyone who crosses them is dead. Marko discovers that the company will soon release another dangerous prescription opioid analgesic, but when the company learns that this information has been leaked, more bodies pile up. Let down by his higher-ups, Marko sets off to solve the deadly ring of crime that now surrounds him, all while evading repeated attempts to kill him. Marko will need all his wits, skills, and contacts both inside and outside of the law to shut down the twin brothers’ criminal drug empire. Can a painting from a major art theft decades earlier provide the key to how Marko can cripple the whole operation? Only if Marko isn’t killed first.

Goodreads review by Alan

A new author for me. This was a little hard going to start with, although it did pick up fairly quickly. The characters are strong and I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment.

Goodreads review by Nicola

Didn't enjoy this book at all, won't bother with any others in the series. Lots of stereotyping about the posh character (Old girl, old sport etc, drives a jag etc).

Goodreads review by Books 'n' All

Wow love it David Hodges is a new author to me but I was intrigued to read this series set on the Somerset Levels. The story kicks off with a bang and the suspense builds from page 1 all the way to the very end. There are many twists and turns along the way and a massive helping of intrigue. Never in......more
