William Warwick is back, and he's been promoted to Detective Sergeant. With the promotion comes a transfer to the Drugs Squad and immediate assignment to apprehend a dealer with an extensive network across South London.
Whilst the investigation progresses, William runs into enemies old and new and the net around the criminals begins to close. But now the team must finalise a plan that they won't see coming...
Being a fan of Jeffrey Archer, I really enjoyed the first installment in this series. However, this second book landed a little off the mark for me. I felt it lacked the depth that you have come to expect from this author.
Although it was good to catch up with the characters, their development didn't seem to progress any further which was a shame. The Warwick family, who seemed larger than life in the previous novel, appeared infrequently this time and I missed their quick humour and sarcastic barbs towards each other a great deal.
This aside, I did still enjoy the story and will, without a doubt, continue with this series. I just hope there is a little more focus on the characters, rather than just the crime procedural, going forward.
