Description
London is in lockdown, and with it, a city teetering on the brink of chaos. A deadly virus has claimed thousands of victims, and martial law has been imposed. Amidst the chaos, a gruesome discovery is made: the rendered bones of a murdered child, left at a building site for a temporary hospital. As the city struggles to cope with the crisis, a powerful conspiracy unfolds. Detective Jack MacNeil, counting down the hours on his final day with the Met, is sent to investigate the murder. His career is in ruins, his marriage over, and his own family touched by the virus. Sinister forces are tracking his every move, prepared to kill again to conceal the truth. As the virus spreads, Jack must navigate a treacherous landscape of violence and civil disorder to uncover the truth behind the murder. With the odds stacked against him, Jack must confront the killer before he becomes the next victim. Will he be able to uncover the truth, or will the virus and the conspirators silence him forever?
