    About this ebook

    They thought that the police, MI5 and the Security Services would protect them. They were wrong. When the body of fourteen year old Simone Winston is found in a frozen ditch they quickly find themselves in a deadly conflict with two mismatched policemen and a Quaker woman of ferocious intelligence.

    Meet:
    Probationary Police Constable Michael Collins. Just six months out of Ireland, he has the drive and intelligence to go far. But first he has to learn how to police the streets of Handsworth while he tries to survive his battle with gangster Eddie Bishop and a group of deadly paedophiles.

    Constable Clive Clark. At five foot seven and nine stone soaking wet he’s the smallest police officer in Birmingham. Despite his size it’s Clark’s job to show Collins the ropes and protect him from harm during his first month on the force. Unfortunately, his love of West Bromwich Albion and a desire to share it with Collins threatens to send the younger man into a coma.

    Agnes Winter. Quaker, friend to any woman who has been beaten by their husband, boyfriend or pimp and Collins landlady. With her War Record stamped ‘Most Secret’ she has many friends in both high and low places.

    Unable to trust anyone, this band of strangers form ties that will never be broken as they fight for their lives and justice for Simone.
