Archer's pacy writing reappears in this book, but those parts few and far between. The court interrogation with Grace and the raid are the only parts that really gripped me to the narrative. The rest of it seemed more like fluff. Maybe Archer is getting saturated of his own style and needs to rediscover his zeal or reinvent his style. My actual rating is more of a 3.5 than a 4 out of 5.

had its moments but i didn’t like how they portrayed adaja. BLEH!
Detective William Warwick has plenty on his plate, a promotion to the drugs squad and an incipient wedding plus fatherhood, however he also has his nemesis Miles Faulkner haunting him. After Faulkner is caught in a drugs swoop Warwick's lawyer family leads on the case whilst Warwick himself is involved in the hunt for a drug baron called The Viper.
This is the second book in the series about a 1980s detective in the unreconstructured Metropolitan Police of the time. The story bounds along at an agreeable pace and is mildly diverting but this isn't high quality crime fiction. It's a bit of a mash-up of a police procedural and one of Archer's standard epic novels, multiple characters and plotlines all intertwining, which is not a bad thing.
