"The tables have turned, and now Detective Inspector Cass Jones is a wanted man on the streets of London. Framed for murder and hunted by his former colleagues, Cass needs every ally he can get--including a very unexpected figure from his past.

As he searches for his kidnapped nephew while eluding his own pursuers, Cass is determined to find the answers--even if he has to confront the darkest secrets of the history of humanity to do it"--
