Welcome to the world of Dave Woolf, a hard-drinking, hard thinking lawyer-detective surrounded by a cast of characters that includes his former law partner and future lover Sandy, the seedy nightclub owner Lewis, Tim Dowell, a policeman with a more dysfunctional relationship with the law and the truth than the criminals he investigates, also Dave's new Australian sidekick Carson and his nemesis, the dark, dangerous and devious High Court judge Russel Orbach. But everyone must always remember, no one falls out with each other as badly as lawyers. The Last Wednesday - Someone is killing off the members of a left-leaning set of barristers' chambers. Controlling Interest - A family firm of solicitors is torn apart by freemasonry and organised crime. The Judge's Song - A corrupt judge is in the pocket of a pair of East London gangsters. Orbach's Judgment - A pop star's autobiography lays the blame for the death of her parents at Russel Orbach's door and Dave discovers that there is no depth of deceit to which Orbach would not descend to serve his own ends.

Dave Woolf's enemies are much closer to home than he realises in this shocking thriller from Bernard Bannerman. The uncontainable lawyer-detective's domestic life is under threat, haunted by ghosts from his sidekick Carson's troubled youth in Australia and complicated by an assignment to search for a contract hitman's wayward son. Dave and Carson are soon led to France and Switzerland, where they encounter a potentially dangerous cult, The Accord. Who are The Accord? What is the purpose of their 'gatherings'? Can Carson escape her own past? Woolf confronts double agents, criminal masterminds and dark conspiracies while he questions the loyalties of his friends, the limits of his love and even his own sanity. Nothing is sacred and no one is safe in the sixth gripping instalment in the Dave Woolf saga.

In this fifth thriller featuring Dave Woolf, the unorthodox, hard-living lawyer-detective faces his toughest challenge yet. The disappearance of his friend Tim Dowell and the unexplained deaths of a number of Members of Parliament appear to be unconnected cases, but are they? Dave's investigation leads him into a labyrinth of deals with crooks, allies, lovers and the highest echelons of government, but he must also take care of his fraught personal life, ensure the safety of Alton, his young son, and try to move on from the tragedies scarring his past. Loyalties shift, and secrets unfurl as Dave becomes embroiled in a sinister conspiracy, part criminal, part political, but always evil. He must uncover the truth behind Dowell's disappearance, and find out who, if anyone, he can really trust as old friends and old enemies return for retribution and revenge.
