A SONG FROM DEAD LIPS

The Runaway: A nameless young woman is found naked and strangled in an alley on Abbey Road.

The Reject: DS Cathal Breen, an outcast in the Marylebone CID, struggles to make sense of the case.

The Rookie: Until new recruit WPC Helen Tozer - the first woman to join the team - makes a breakthrough.

And as hippies slam doors in their face, and locals suspect the new African neighbours, Breen and Tozer tread down a perilous path, closing in on a cruel conspiracy that goes far beyond class, colour and creed.

A HOUSE OF KNIVES

The Black Sheep: The wayward son of a rising MP is mutilated and burnt in suspicious circumstances.

The Honest Detective: DS Cathal Breen dodges political embargo and death threats to pursue the case.

The Rolling Stone: Notorious art dealer Robert Fraser may provide the only clue - if only he will talk.

And as Breen slips deeper into London's underground of hippies and heroin, he edges nearer to the secrets of those at the very top. Banished from a corrupt and fracturing system, he will finally be forced to fight fire with fire.

A BOOK OF SCARS

Never forgotten: Teenager Alexandra Tozer was murdered on her family's farm. Five years later, her sister Helen will return.

Never suspected: As soon as DS Breen tracks down the original investigating sergeant, the man goes missing. And so does Helen.

Never revealed: The only connection between the suspects is the Kenya Emergency - a nightmare that Englishmen prefer to forget.

But others remember. Every bloody detail. And when another woman is taken, Breen fears that history - in all its shame and horror - is coming back to haunt them.
