After a decade abroad Colin Bailey returns to the UK. With a new name and a new face, he has scores to settle.
His meticulous planning lets him slip unnoticed across the country ticking names off his list. The police are clueless. DCI Phil Hounsell has pitted his wits against Colin before. He drives to Durham to team up with super intelligent young DS Zara Wheeler. Together they track Bailey to Manchester and then eventually south to Bath.
In the final scenes on the streets of the Roman city, Phil Hounsell’s family is under threat. A dramatic struggle, reminiscent of Holmes and Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, ensues above historic Pulteney Weir.
Two men plunge into the foaming waters. Who will survive?
