Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Benson, following on from his many successes solving serious crime cases, now has his former nemesis. The assistant chief commissioner, dancing through hoops, is willing to do whatever Steve requires to bring to justice a senior police officer in their midst who is, in fact, a serial killer.

Steve and his small team of police officers, also, have the task of uncovering a web of corruption inside the Canadian Security Services. This case came to the harsh light of day when a senior security officer, Joe Denison, attempted on several occasions to have Steve and his team eliminated by using sharpshooters. Fortunately, to date, this concerted attack has not been successful.

As part of the ongoing investigation, Steve uncovers a corrupt sitting senator, Senator Harris. Now the team has the full support of the AC and the CC. Everyone will have to tread carefully so they don’t bring down the sitting government.
