Description
A toxic cloud of deceit and corruption hangs over the Scottish city of Dundee. In this gripping crime thriller, DI Donna Davenport is suspended from duty after a fiery outburst to the press, while her new partner, Evanton, brings his own brand of old-fashioned policing to the case. As they search for a deadly store of methyl isocyanate, their uneasy partnership is complicated by mistrust and a growing sense of unease. The investigation takes them from the peaceful farmland of Fife to the city's streets, where a criminal gang is smuggling the valuable substance necessary for making cheap pesticides. An anonymous tip-off sets off a desperate search, but as the stakes rise, Davenport and Evanton must navigate their differences and work together to uncover the truth. With its tense and fast-paced plot, Toxic is a compelling crime thriller that explores the complexities of policing and the human cost of corruption.
