As Sketty works with Cleaver he gets involved in taking down estate gangs and drugs rings. It’s a long time before a particularly nasty assault on a young girl bonds him to Cleaver. Eventually he offers Sketty a way into a clandestine group dedicated to weeding out criminals by any means. Sketty thinks this might get him closer to Roman. SO15 are waiting patiently but they aren’t aware of all the things Sketty has been going through undercover. I can promise you, Dr Teller,’ I tell him, ‘I would have preferred not to have been a hero. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.’ Emerging with his lawyer, Henry reveals to DI Ray Mason that he knows that happened to Kitty, and the person who murdered her. I start to lift myself out of my armchair. My bad hip has become stiff from being sat down for the past ten minutes while we did the various small talk. Dr Teller doesn’t seem remotely perturbed, however. Instead, he’s actually smiling, the sly bastard, and there’s something predatory about it. ‘Before you go, Mr Sketty, you might want to see this.’ He reaches round in his wheelchair, moving slowly, and retrieves a plain cardboard folder from under the table, leaning forward to hand it to me.

Although he claims that he can reveal the identity of the terrorists, he wants something in return. Rich, handsome, with a beautiful family and a great chance of becoming Britain’s next Prime Minister, Alastair Sheridan seemingly has it all. The story of a cop working cases and leading a dual life, spying on one of his colleagues is credibly written and involving. Sketty is well realised as an ordinary man battered by life and sinking into bad ways. It’s intriguing to wonder how we would act under the same pressure, isolated and alone. And yet as events lead up to the Villa Amalfi siege we are given more than one interpretation of events and so how compromised Sketty is remains a mystery. No longer with the police force, he generated extra income by assassinating all manner of evil men, from drug-dealers to unscrupulous business men.

Vengeful and deadly, she is desperate to find and eliminate the person before she suffers the same fate. I can’t say I got close to any of the characters but I did cheered up on both Cleverly and Sketty to show up and tell the truth of what happened 14 years ago and if there’s any relation with the present investigation. Life seems perfect for John Meron. Blissfully married with two children, he has always managed to stay away from trouble. Dr Ralph Teller is in his 70s, MS has confined him to a wheelchair, but grief has driven him to investigate the night of his wife’s death. She was one of the victims of the siege. Teller has painstakingly collated information, interviewed witnesses and reconstructed the peripheral lives of those involved, finally arriving at a showdown with Sketty, the lynchpin of the whole affair. Faced with the evidence Sketty is forced to open up but how many layers of obfuscation, lying and self-justification will be admit to. Will he really come clean. Sketty isn’t the man everyone thinks he is but just how dirty is he?What follows is Sketty's true account of the events which led to that fateful night that changed everything. Or are they? He takes another dainty sip of the whisky while I consider my options. But in truth I don’t really have any. The information in this folder is incendiary. Sketty isa brilliantly realised character, inhabiting the grey world between good and bad, but just how flawed, just how guilty is he? The story twists and turns, and every time we think we’ve nailed Sketty’s character we have to think again as the layers of the story peel away. The guessing game is incredibly tense; Sketty’s story is deeply intriguing and over all this is an exhilarating read. Set on different paths one tragic night more than two decades ago when their friend Rachel was murdered, they united once again—fearing for their own lives after the man convicted for Rachel's death is set free. An experienced hired assassin is on the verge of finding someone who he has evaded him for the longest timer.
