Publisher's Synopsis
The disappearance of a smart young criminal, Darren Mallory, is cause for some concern but his family, all seasoned villains, refuse to cooperate with the police. Despite the relatives' unwillingness to help with his investigation, Detective Superintendent Mark Pemberton pushes ahead and launches an official search for the missing man. The meagre information he finds suggests Mallory's abduction was orchestrated by a team of fake police officers, but a faint trail leading to the murky world of drugs comes to a dead end. Is this just a red herring, concocted to throw Pemberton further off the scent?
