SHE WAS BORN INTO MONEY. NOW SHE'S DEAD IN THE BOOT OF A CAR. Victoria Voss had everything-beauty, privilege, and the Voss family name. But when her frozen body is found abandoned opposite the infamous Harecastle Tunnel on the Trent and Mersey Canal, nothing about her death makes sense. No witnesses. No murder weapon. Just a broken wristwatch and a cryptic message: BLACKJACK PROTOCOL. Ex-detective Tom Blake is pulled back into a world he thought he'd left behind. Hired by the Voss dynasty to dig quietly, Blake soon uncovers a dark undercurrent of gambling addiction, murder, corporate ruthlessness, and buried trauma-and everyone he questions has something to hide. With rookie forensic psychology grad Martha Lennox at his side, Blake races to uncover a trail of secrets buried beneath a billion-pound betting empire, a shattered family, and a case no one wants solved. Fast-paced, addictive, and packed with jaw-dropping twists-this is Blake's most dangerous investigation yet.
