Synopsis:
The South-East London Police Squad are suffering collective burnout: with tragic deaths, excessive habits, uncontrollable anger and the wrong kind of friendships, the team never had it so bad. Detective Sergeant Brant is in hot water for assaulting a police shrink, Chief Inspector Roberts' wife has died in a horrific car accident, and WPC Falls is still figuring out how to navigate her job as a black female investigator in the notorious unit. When a serial killer takes his show on the road, things get worse for all three. Nicknamed "The Blitz" by the rabid London media, the killer is aiming for tabloid immortality by killing cops in different beats around the city using a hammer to perpetrate his misdeeds. The characters inhabit a dirty, violent London and have their share of regrets; as the story opens Brant is dealing with the repurcussions from his assault on a precinct psychologist.
Paddy's role:
Sergeant Porter Nash, an openly gay cop who is a recurring character in Bruen’s novels.
