Firstly, I would like to thank Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book.
It is the first book in this series that I have read, and it worked ok as a stand alone story. DI Geraldine Steel is investigating the death of a sex worker in York, whilst her erstwhile partner, DI Ian Paterson, is, unknown to her, sent to London to work undercover in a gangland drugs case.
These were two very different cases, the only thread between them was the relationship between the two main characters. I enjoyed the York case, which was a good story, and quite believable, but I thought the London case was not. In real life, I doubt Ian would have survived as long.
