As far back as Karen can remember, she's wanted to be rich. She's married to a leader, Henry Greaves, and to say she’s unhappy is an understatement.
Nathaniel has fallen in love with Karen, the stepmother who's the same age as him. When her life is in danger, he turns to the twins for help, and together they come up with a plan to make it look like Henry’s been murdered in a gangland war.
But then things go wrong. Another leader's child is missing, and the person who made that happen must be held accountable.
Detective Sergeant Colin Broadly does his best to shove a couple of deaths under the carpet for the twins, all while working with a young PC who’s sharp and misses nothing. The case has to be buried, and the dead end he needs to take it to can't happen fast enough.
There’s the distinct scent of deception in the August air, and while most people enjoy the hot sunshine, others are enjoying the heat that murder brings…

We are back in the Cardigan Estate and this time Greg and George are taking a back seat in the world of crime.
A new leader is introduced and he has a plan to overtake another estate. Like the twins his method of killing is brutal.
I can share that :-
✅ It is not bloody
✅ It is not merciful
✅ It is explosive
