They thought he was gone. They were wrong.
 
When a teenage girl turns up dead behind a Soho club, Detective Inspector Jack Regan knows it's not just another vice case. The calling card found on her body bears a chilling signature: M.C. sends his regards.
 
Maltese Charles — the kingpin Regan helped deport years ago — is back. Or at least his reach is.
As Regan and his partner George Carter peel back the layers of sleaze, secrets, and silence, they uncover a network of corruption that snakes from Soho’s strip joints to Whitehall’s darkest corridors. Girls are vanishing. Witnesses are dying. And someone is watching their every move.
 
Caught between political pressure and street-level fear, Regan must decide just how far he's willing to go — and how much he’s prepared to lose — to stop a ghost with blood on his hands.
 
A razor-sharp crime thriller set in the smoke-stained heart of 1970s London — where justice is dirty, and payback dirtier.
