Description
London, November 1968, was a city on the brink of change. In the Marylebone CID, the atmosphere was tense, with suspects being beaten in the cells and the only woman resigning. Detective Sergeant Breen was at the centre of a maelstrom, with a death threat in his inbox and a mutilated body on his hands. The victim was the son of a rising MP, with connections to the home office, and Breen's investigation was obstructed at every turn. As he delved deeper into the case, Breen encountered a complex web of power and corruption, with politicians and art dealers alike hiding secrets. The glamorous parties of Robert 'Groovy Bob' Fraser, an art dealer with a heroin addiction, masked a darker reality. Breen began to see that the abuse of power was a pervasive issue, affecting every level of society. His actions put him at the top of the list of suspects, and he was forced to fight fire with fire to uncover the truth. A House of Knives is a powerful and poignant portrayal of London's swinging sixties, revealing the shadowy underbelly of a city in turmoil.
