A DEADLY BROADCAST

One live stream. Thousands of viewers. One very public execution. When small-time drug smuggler Sammy Bickle becomes the internet's most talked-about secret, DS Max Craigie inherits a case that was never supposed to exist.

With bodies falling on both sides of the border and leaks poisoning the investigation at every turn, Max must go deep undercover. In a world where organised crime owns the people meant to stop it, who can he trust?
