One missing woman. Two scapegoats looking to put the record straight. After being made the fall guy for the Serious Crime Unit's incompetence DS Dave Slater is suspended from duty. Bored out of his mind sitting at home, all he wants is a chance to put the record straight and get back to work. Then, out of the blue, his boss calls. He has been asked to find someone to re-investigate a case "under the radar". But is this a chance for Slater to prove himself, or a trap designed to finish his career for good? Ruth Thornhill went missing six months ago, but Slater soon finds enough discrepancies between the case file and the facts to realize there's been a cover-up. Curiosity aroused, he begins to ask questions and rattle some cages. When someone tries to push him under a London bus, Slater knows he's onto something big, but now the stakes have been raised his boss insists he needs help. Slater is horrified to find his partner is new to the station and rumored to be as good as useless, but his boss insists, he has no choice. It turns out new partner DS Norman isn't quite as hopeless as rumor suggests and, just like Slater, has also been used as a scapegoat by the Serious Crime Unit. And again, just like Slater, he would relish the chance to prove a point. The stakes get higher still when they uncover some disturbing connections to the missing woman. These include a Chinese businessman, an online escort agency, a top London banker and, most dangerous of all, senior officers from the Serious Crime Unit. Can the new partners survive long enough to uncover the full story (and stay alive doing it!) or is this going to be the first and the last case they work together?… (meer)
With DS Dave Slater on unofficial suspension he becomes the ideal officer to investigate a missing person discreetly. Unfortunately this is just the start of his problems. Soon he is joined by D.S Norman. I enjoyed the mystery, thought it was well-written and liked the banter that existed between the main characters. So a good solid start to the new series ( )

In the dark gloom of the early hours, with lights extinguished, the estate car reversed slowly off the main road into a narrow side-street and then continued to creep on down to the riverside, where if finally stopped at the top of an old, disused, slipway.

All he heard was the slight creak of the floorboards above him as she climbed into his bed.
