What you need to know before your trail
They thought they were kidnapping the mistress of one of London’s most powerful gangsters. But they’ve taken the wrong woman. And crossed the wrong detective.
Detective Max Wolfe’s hunt for the missing woman takes him from New Scotland Yard’s legendary Black Museum to the glittering mansions of career criminals, from sleazy strip joints to secret sex dungeons – and to unspeakably dark deeds committed decades ago.
It’s a world of family secrets, sexual jealousy, and a lust for revenge – which might also become Wolfe’s grave

Travel BookTrail style to Tony Parson’s London
The London of DC Max Wolfe is one in the back streets of Camden, of old car lots, of smart businesses hiding dark secrets and a whole lot more. There’s a colourful cast of characters too such as Harry Flowers – a very nicely named and charming yet violent drug lord. He now works as a ‘respectable businessman’ but has heavies…
The locations build the city into a dark and gritty one – the one that stands out is right at the heart of Scotland Yard itself – The Black Museum where secrets and evidence from old and past crimes come to live. There’s an amazing collection here and this plays an interesting role in the story.
