The first in a fast-paced international crime thriller series, that’s just a little bit different.

Is England’s smallest county hiding its greatest criminal? Customs legend Frank McBride has been leading teams of investigators targeting gangs of drugs smugglers for decades. Taking out John Pyke’s team of criminals is just another operation until suddenly things become interesting.

 

Why has Pyke’s team suddenly become so professional? Who is pulling the strings? And why?

From Breda in the Netherlands via Dover and Lincoln all paths lead back to a mysterious figure in Rutland whose methodology is antiquated but faultless and whose motives are unknowable.

 

McBride finds himself engaged in a duel with an unseen opponent and will need all his experience and skill to unravel The Rutland Connection.
