Justice Minister Elaine Parry dies in an explosion. A terrorist attack? A political assassination? Or is it personal?
Big-time criminals, an international media tycoon, the CEO of a pharmaceutical giant, even one of London's top cops - all have reasons for wanting the minister dead.
Closer to home, Michael Parry desperately seeks a life-saving donor for teenage daughter, Leah, critically injured in the same attack - and political blogger, Rachel Denison, scenting scandal as well as murder, risks her life unearthing the truth.
It is soon brutally clear that there are those who will stop at nothing to keep the minister's secrets buried.
