On a summer night, an attractive woman hurtles north in a blue Peugeot with an address in her pocket, while, back in London, a desperate man leaves a late-night phone message on his brother´s answering machine. By sunrise, the woman is found in her car, shot, execution-style, through the head. Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot arrives on the scene and discovers a slip of paper in the dead woman´s pocket that bears the name of her colleague and erstwhile lover, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks. Banks, meanwhile -- withdrawn after nearly dying in the fire that destroyed his home -- has gone missing just when he´s needed most, and has left plenty of questions behind. As Annie struggles to determine if Banks is safe -- and what role he may have played in the woman´s murder -- Banks himself investigates the mysterious disappearance of his estranged brother, Roy. Working from Roy´s swank apartment, Banks makes the rounds to Roy´s old haunts and slowly inhabits the life of his younger brother, the black sheep of the family. As the trail of clues about Roy´s life and associations draws Banks into a dark circle of conspiracy and corruption, mobsters and murder, Banks suddenly realizes he´s running out of time to save Roy, and by digging too deep, he may be exposing himself and his family to the same -- possibly deadly -- danger.
