A Minister's Downfall

"Rules? They left those behind a long time ago."

Tom Kessler is still a police officer. That's what makes this unforgivable.
When a powerful MP assaults Pete Johnson's wife and walks away without consequence, Tom knows exactly how this works. Reporting it exposes Pete, the man who delivered Falstead, the one person outside the job Tom trusts completely. The system he's sworn to uphold has nothing useful to offer either of them.

So a serving detective and a cocaine dealer do the unthinkable.
They take him on themselves.

What begins as a targeted operation to bring one man to account spirals into something neither of them is equipped for. Because the MP they've been watching isn't just protected by power and money. Russian intelligence has been watching him too, for entirely different reasons, and the moment Tom and Pete step into that shadow, they stop being hunters.

They become targets.

Where they're going, rules don't apply. And witnesses don't last.

By the time it's over, Tom's warrant card means nothing. Going back was never really an option.

A Minister's Downfall is a razor-sharp British thriller about the moment a good officer crosses a line he always knew was there, and what's waiting on the other side.
