A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.
A mixed blood female London homicide detective, wounded in a botched operation, is sidelined to a newly-formed police force in North East England. Paired with a cancer survivor, her first case involves a murder in an Albanian mafia-run local brothel which uncovers a viper's nest of corruption, both sexual and economic. In essence a police procedural with a striking Northumberland background, this reaches unexpected noir heights as the personally conflicted cops uncover layer after layer of intrigue that keep you glued to the page. Sam Alexander is allegedly a pen name for a well-known author. Bets are open as to her (or his) identity.
