***Now a motion picture, out 5th March 2018***

In different parts of London, three recruits prepare for their first day at the Metropolitan Police''s training centre at Hendon. All three had succeeded in getting into the police in spite of weaknesses. But on their first day, the assistant commissioner announces that he wants them to join a team of undercover detectives. Their brief? To become criminals; to work their way up through whatever criminal organisations they can get access to, and to collate evidence against the criminals they come across. Their target? One of the world''s biggest drug dealers, Den Donovan, alias ''Tango One'' - number one on HM Customs and Excise''s List of most wanted criminals.

Three years later all the recruits are getting close to their target. Too close, perhaps, to remember the rules . . .

Industry Reviews

'The novel has everything one has come to expect in a Stephen Leather thriller - a fst, page-turning pace, characters you hate to love, a satisfying resolution in which justice is seen to be done (but one that would make the police cringe) and a thought-provoking premise that makes the reader delve into his or her own moral center.' - Deadly Pleasures -- Deadly Pleasures 'This has everything a thriller should have - hectic action, characters you care about, and some unexpected twists and turns' - Nuneaton Evening Telegraph -- Nuneaton Evening Telegraph 19970801 'Stephen Leather should be nestling in your bookshelves alongside Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins ... Exciting stuff with plenty of heart-palpitating action ... Leather is an intelligent thriller writer' -- Daily Mail on THE TUNNEL RATS 'As high-tech and as world-class as the thriller genre gets' -- Sunday Express on THE BOMBMAKER 'A gripping story sped along by admirable, uncluttered prose' -- Daily Telegraph on THE CHINAMAN 'Leather, a former journalist, can dispense high-adrenaline plotting but never at the expense of remembering that his characters are humans rather than Action Dolls' -- Sunday Express 'A top-notch thriller which whips the reader along at breakneck speed' -- Yorkshire Post on THE LONG SHOT
