DC William Warwick has just passed his exams and promoted to DS. His commander, Hawksby has been given the authority to create an elite unit to get one particular drug baron behind bars. The evening of his promotion, he is with DC Jackie Roycroft when she arrests Adrian Heath for drug possession. DCI Lamont wants Warwick to question Heath and become friends with him so that they can get the drug investigation underway.
Heath is able to provide Warwick with a name, plus a time and place where the Viper, as the drug lord is known will be on a regular basis. Hawksby’s team begin their investigation. As it progresses, they know that they are in for a long haul.
However, the team also has another case on their hands. A master criminal has been captured with a quantity of drugs. His case must be tried, with Warwick’s father and sister acting as prosecutors.
When the drug lord’s den is discovered, special plans must be laid to enter it and arrest him. Will the team be successful?
Author Jeffrey Archer has written an intriguing mystery novel in this, the second of this series. One would think that the author has the mind of a master criminal, the way the plot is developed and the surprises he has woven into the story. I found this book hard to put down, and avidly await the next in the series.
