"A smart, gritty read" - from L. Peterson



"I’m really hooked on this series. It is so good, entertaining, suspenseful with twist. Joe Talon’s books are hard to put down." - from M. Janssens



A call from an old friend fills Dale Valentine with dread the moment it ends. His past is coming to Glastonbury, and he’s not sure if he’s ready.



As a professional investigator, he knows ex-convicts are rarely truthful if a lie keeps them out of trouble. This one is driven by panic.



After all, what happens to hackers who discover government ministers are lying? Rarely anything good.



As paranoia seeps through the rural town, Dale needs to uncover the real power behind the throne. A solar farm’s links to the politician weave a path through the ancient landscape to foreign powers that fill him with dread.



When the politician dies, the lies start to fall apart and Dale finds himself at the heart of a dangerous game.



Can Dale and one jaded police officer, save Glastonbury and a disreputable hacker, from big business corruption and greed?



And if he can’t, who will become the sacrifice?
