When a worker goes missing from a North Sea gas platform, there seem to be just two possible explanations: it was a tragic accident or a suicide.

It does not take Smith and his detectives long, however, to discover that James Bell led a double life back onshore in Kings Lake - a life complicated enough to make him at least one dangerous enemy. Internal fractures and unexpected new additions to the squad threaten to derail the investigation. And, finding himself plunged into the seediest parts of town, Smith must face the fact that he might no longer be considered fit for duty.

'Ensconced in Kings Lake, in the company of Smith and his team, I didn't want to leave.' FINANCIAL TIMES
