About This Book

A brisk crime story follows a resourceful young woman left penniless after her father's death who becomes entangled with a secretive criminal syndicate that issues an audacious manifesto. A pragmatic investigator probes forced entries, forged documents and a linked hospitalised suspect, assembling clues from burgled papers and a distinctive triangular token. The narrative moves through methodical searches, police procedure, media sensation and sudden violence, alternating investigative technique with narrow escapes and shifting loyalties, as the protagonists close in on the conspirators and tensions build toward a decisive confrontation.
