In Nottingham, 1997, Labour MP Sarah Bone celebrates a successful campaign to secure an appeal for convicted murderer Ed Clark. But she soon discovers that he might be guilty after all. Driven to uncover the truth about Ed, she also has to fight the most important election of a generation, one she is expected to lose. Nick Cane is also fresh out of prison. Working illegally as a cabby, he finds he's now a colleague to Ed Clark. And since he's seeing Polly Bolton, the sister of the man Ed is meant to have murdered, Nick needs to find the truth as much as Sarah does.

Review:
A compelling story - a real page-turner with fascinating characters . . . It threw me right back to the 1990s and that election. Incredibly tense and very well written, it was much more than a standard crime book * Nicola Monaghan * The characters are rounded and Belbin has captured the spirit of the time . . . The central duo are an appealing pair, and it's definitely worth sticking around to see what they do next -- Laura Wilson * The Guardian * A gripping and grown-up page-turner * Tablet *
