This British crime novel presents a tightly wound narrative of financial corruption, murder, and institutional cover-up set in the heart of Londons banking district. Davis constructs a world where respectability masks ruthless ambition, and the pursuit of justice threatens to unravel the very fabric of elite society. The plot details a detectives investigation into a suspicious death linked to high finance, illustrating how power and privilege distort truth and obstruct accountability. It argues that crime within the corridors of wealth is no less brutal than that found in the back alleys. With clipped prose and a sharp eye for procedural detail, the novel stands as a compelling indictment of moral decay behind the faade of economic respectability.
