Deadly Intent

Alexander Fitzpatrick is one of the most wanted men in the Western world.  Wealthy, handsome, charismatic and supremely dangerous, with numerous aliases, Fitzpatrick is a drug-trafficker who has eluded arrest for more than thirty years.  For the past decade there has been no sightings of him.

In a notorious drug dealers' squat in north London ex-police officer Frank Brandon is shot dead.  DI Anna Travis tries to connect the presence of her much-respected ex-colleague with such desperate surroundings.  Her formidable new boss, DCI Carol Cunningham, impatient for results and frustrated by the total lack of credible suspects is constantly challenging her.
