Book Synopsis

If the ravens are lost, Britain will fall . . . Retired and restless, former Metropolitan Police cop John Carlyle is back in London and exercising his impressive talent for finding trouble. The mysterious death of his glamorous neighbour, Bella, leads Carlyle into a world of chancers, treasure hunters and criminals, via that most legendary of landmarks, the Tower of London. The ravens have vanished, bodies are turning up in the Thames, and the crown jewels are at stake. Groping his way through myth and legend towards the truth about Bella's death, Carlyle finds himself up against his most dangerous adversary yet, a killer known simply as 'The Subjugator', whose methods are as medieval as the Tower's bloody history. One false move, and Carlyle's golden years could come to a brutally premature end . . .
