No one likes a bent cop… especially police colleagues.
Continuing the page-turning gritty crime fiction from CJ Wood’s popular books, County Lines & Crossed Lines , DS Pete Higgs continues to play the Police and Organised Crime Group off against each other.
But how long can he succeed? Is he entrenched in noble cause corruption, or is he now an organised crime gang member? Either way, he’s crossed the line; he’s a villain.
DI Andrea Statham is convinced that her one-time trusted colleague and experienced detective, DS Pete Higgs, is embedded within Wayne Davies’s organised crime group. But she needs evidence to prove it. And now she is on his case to get him banged up.
The intelligence suggests that he is now involved in dealing drugs and firearms. But he is an experienced operative and covering his tracks. DI Statham knows it won't be easy, but that won’t deter her. Only one of them will succeed
One way or another, things are coming to a head…
