With emotions running high, and Finnegan’s brightest officer, DI Kumar, suspended pending an external investigation, the unprovoked shooting is proving baffling.
While Finnegan and Stoker lean on old-fashioned methods to solve the case, DI Kumar uses her intuition to uncover a neo-Nazi link leading to stolen WWII relics.

Finnegan must manage his limited resources, cool frayed tempers, massage injured egos, and ultimately piece together two different deadly puzzles before it’s too late!
With his superiors conspiring to put him out to pasture, can he catch a killer, bust a drugs ring, and finally end speculation about his retirement?
