Can DCI John Blizzard stop an ex-con from getting his cut?
When an elderly couple walk into Abbey Road Police Station and announce, with a certain nonchalance, that they'll be murdered in the coming week, Detective John Blizzard has every reason to take them seriously.
Some twenty years earlier, they were subject to a brutal assault in their home, which they barely survived.
Enraged that he'd been diddled out of his rightful inheritance, their nephew Charlie Louden had decided to take the law, and a machete, into his own hands. Now he's being considered for early release from prison.
Blizzard tries to put their fears to rest. Charlie is apparently a changed man. And surely the parole board would not make such a grave mistake.
Yet when a body is recovered following a warehouse fire, things begin to hot up in the industrial city of Hafton. Despite his assurances, inwardly Blizzard has a nagging feeling that matters are about to go south.
