Bobby Fatokun is no stranger to conspiracies. A former police officer turned ‘Bad Coach’, he now reforms corrupt officers within the Met. But when a client requests an urgent meet and then turns up dead, Bobby suspects there's more to the story than an accidental death.
Bobby's investigation leads him to a church where the victim had been working undercover, but he isn't the only one asking questions …
The church's wealthy pastor has a powerful enemy at the heart of the British Establishment - one who will stop at nothing to neutralise a threat. As the pieces of their dangerous gambit fall into place, Bobby will have to tread lightly, or his search for the truth will turn deadly.
'Leye Adenle’s novel has something of the Dirk Gentlys about it . . . there is a deft twist, some larger-than-life characters and, above all, in Fatokun a different and welcome new voice' THE SUNDAY TIMES
