How do you solve a murder when you're shut out of the investigation? Young detectives, Robinson Ellington Foxe and Amy Kennard, don't want to work at Coventry's Moat Lane police station. Neither do their colleagues want them there. But it's the last chance for two officers for whom doing the right thing has cost them their futures. Despite a murder on their patch, they are lumbered with investigating a series of high-profile burglaries. But when a thief is killed in the house of an influential businessman, Foxe and Kennard are convinced it is linked to their cases and want in. The official investigation is a whitewash, but Robbie and Amy keep investigating anyway.As they uncover a web of deceit and corruption, reaching to the very top of the force, their own difficult histories are weaponised against them, and they find themselves fighting for their careers and their lives.
