A country on the verge of collapse serves as the backdrop to this twisting mystery. In an England ravaged by climate change, record heat wave summers and rain soaked winters aren’t the only things causing havoc. The government is keen to maintain control but with the police force unreliable there’s a new age of lawlessness and a push for AI/Bot policing. Seeking to keep control, even with the most drastic measures, the Deputy Prime Minister empowers a specialist police corruption unit to stamp out public protests with Project Deadhead. Meanwhile DCI MacGillivray, drowning in grief for the loss of his family, is investigating a sudden rise of tragic accidents. But is he too far gone to return to his justice seeking former self, can he forgive himself for the depths he’s sunk to in the past and who will he have to reach out to for help in order to seek justice when everyone around him only cares about holding on to power. The setting of 2046, the knock on effect of the climate and political environment in Project Deadhead gives this police procedural a whole new host of obstacles to overcome as MacGillivray seeks answers. There are plenty of elements that are stalwarts of crime thrillers, a protagonist investigator with a tragic past, struggling to establish his stance on justice, twists and revelations that send the plot in unexpected directions and a dogged determination to find out the truth. Add to the a system that is not only crumbling but also seeming to be against MacGillivray and you have an engaging story for any crime fiction fan.
