London 1969:

A detective in love. A crime of passion

The devil:

She made a profit from rich men. They paid for her youth. She paid with her life.

The angel:

To investigate the prostitute's murder, DS Cathal Breen isn’t scared to question powerful suspects.

The fall:

But when a mysterious man from MI6 calls, Breen begins to fear he’s uncovered a spy scandal.

And then Breen’s girlfriend Helen Tozer, with her ex-copper instincts, gets dangerously involved. Right or wrong, Breen knows he has too much to lose. He can have no sympathy for the devil.
