Publisher's Synopsis
Friday rush hour. Auckland City. A lone shooter fires across a packed street and kills a man. Detecive Sergeant Sean Daverousx is assigned the case. He's not complaing - his Friday nights are seldom better spent. But the inquiry is not straightforward. Witness accounts are conflicting. The dead man appears to be an unintended victim, with the true target unknown. It's a homicide that leaves police with no inital suspects and no apparent motive. Deveraux's former colleague, John Hale, is in no position to help. Hale is on his own pursuit of darkness, made all the more sinister by a dogged senior police officer determined to engineer his ruin. Told in Ben's sophisticated and edgy style this is a tale of moral corruption viewed through the wary lens of two troubled but decent men. It's a story of the hunt for the truth from those that pursue self-gain by any means.
