The Blue Code
Description
"Accomplished writing from one of the best authors in the UK." M.W. Craven, Sunday Times Bestselling author of the CWA Gold Dagger Washington Poe series.
When the director of a prominent technology firm is ruthlessly gunned down in the bustling car park of a small town supermarket, DI Jonah Pennance of the National Crime Agency is thrust into a high-stakes investigation.
The case is shrouded in sensitivity, as the slain man was entrusted with safeguarding a groundbreaking piece of technology known as The Blue Code - a game-changer that promises to revolutionise the very fabric of law enforcement. However, in a twist that sends shockwaves through the investigation, the invaluable prototype is stolen immediately after the fatal shooting. Alongside the missing device, the Eastern European hitman responsible for the murder and his elusive team seems to have disappeared without a trace.
Pennance finds himself entangled in a relentless battle, not only against the criminal underworld, but also local law enforcement agencies hesitant to share vital information. As he delves deeper into the convoluted web of deceit and corruption, Pennance uncovers a network of dark forces lurking much closer to home than he could have ever anticipated.
In a race against time, can Pennance navigate the murky underbelly of the town to retrieve The Blue Code and bring the merciless killer to justice?
Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, LJ Ross, and Peter James, Dead Money is the third book in this explosive crime thriller series from the author of the hugely popular and best-selling Solomon Gray novels.
