Two unrelated murders. The same squad called in to investigate. Madeleine Fox, the only female detective in the team, has a prime suspect for the murder of the child: the owner of a sweet shop. But there's no evidence to convict him. Then her disgruntled boss DCI Marenko gets a break in the Yardie case. But the witness is murdered and their suspect walks away. But if law and order can't be found in the courts, it can be found in the streets, where justice is on the side of the angels. (Source: back cover, 1999 Coronet edition)
