It's 1986. Thatcher's Britain, and the City of London is buzzing with energy and aspiration. A gifted young barrister is found slaughtered in Temple Gardens, and Scotland Yard is called in. The crime has all the hallmarks of a straightforward grudge killing, but for DCI Joe Loxley and his murder team, it is just the beginning of a serial murder case that becomes increasingly high-profile. The chase for the killer ultimately leads them to the historic city of Oxford. This darkly tragic investigation vividly highlights the unpredictable twists of fate.
