Description
When you're a cop in Marseilles, threats of violence and revenge go with the territory. Usually they come to nothing, but when friends and colleagues start turning up dead it soon becomes clear that someone from Jacquot's past has a score to settle and intends to see it through.
But this killer is different. To sweeten the revenge, and cause the greatest pain, it's always the target's nearest and dearest who die. When Jacquot discovers that he's in the firing line, he knows that unless he can track down the killer then someone he loves will pay the ultimate price.

Media Reviews
Chief inspector Jacquot of the Marseilles police is fast becoming one of my favouite fictional cops. He is aided by O'Brien's great sense of place and intrigue and this time it's personal -- Henry Sutton * Daily Mirror *
O'Brien's evocation of the hot, vibrant and seedy port in which everyone seems to be either a cop or a criminal, and sometimes both, is as masterly as Ian Rankin's depiction of Edinburgh * Daily Mail *
A wonderfully inventive and involving detective series with vivid French locales creating the perfect backdrop. Jacquot is top of le cops * Daily Express *
Well-drawn, strongly flavoured setting in Marseilles ... Rich, spicy and served up with unmistakeable relish * Literary Review *
Martin O'Brien creates a sexually-charged atmosphere that is as chilling as it is engaging * Sydney Morning Herald *
