The Blurb On The Back:
As the world sinks deeper into recession, London is rocked by a terrorist attack that cripples the city. Detective Inspector Cass Jones is busy investigating a series of apparently linked student suicides when Special Branch calls on him: they need his help to find a very unusual suspect.
As if that wasn’t enough, Cass is given a message from beyond the grave, with three words – “They took Luke” – written by his brother before he was brutally murdered, Cass Jones once again feels the world tilt beneath him. He knows who ‘They’ are – Mr Bright and the shadowy Network – and he knows that his dead brother has given him the task of finding the baby, his nephew, stolen at birth.
As Cass tries to divide his time between his two legitimate investigations and his private one, it’s not long before he discovers links where none should be. The mysterious Mr Bright is once again pulling his strings, and there’s nothing Cass Jones hates more …
… so this time he intends to pull back.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The second in Sarah Pinborough’s Dog-Faced Gods Trilogy is another tightly plotted, dark mix of horror and police procedural that keeps you turning the pages from start to finish. There’s a lot of plot and this book gives much more information on the shadowy Network and their agenda. All in all it was a gripping, page-turning read and I can’t wait to read the conclusion to the trilogy.
