Wild card Sam Batford is an undercover cop who has infiltrated crime kingpin Vincent Guardino’s organisation. DCI Klara Winter is also hell-bent on bringing down Guardino but in a much more by-the-book way. The two investigations inevitably collide and clash in Ian Patrick‘s marvellously gripping debut novel Rubicon. Cracking stuff!
