Geoff Sutton finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time...

The retired DCI, now working as a civilian with Parton Constabulary, has a shopping trip cut short when he encounters an elderly victim of the Parton Smart Team, an organised crime group that is targeting older members of the community. Another death is the last thing the force needs as they prepare for a high-profile demonstration of right-wing extremists in Parton city centre.

Sutton''s quiet life of playing golf and watching rugby with his lifelong friends is shattered as he plays an integral role in the murder investigation. As the level of fear rises, connections appear between the adolescent members of the PST, the extremists and the intelligence services. Can Sutton prevent a disaster? And can he also deal with a devastating personal tragedy at the same time?

This tense, fast-paced sequel to Colin Green''s debut novel, TRUST, reveals the challenges that small towns face in maintaining law and order in an increasingly complex world.
