Un assassin hanté par son passé. Deux jeunes réfugiés en eaux troubles qui ont besoin de ses talents. John Milton n’est pas étranger au monde glauque des bas-fonds. Mais confronté à un impitoyable réseau de traite d’êtres humains, l’ancien agent des services secrets britanniques devra se battre plus dur que jamais pour vaincre le mal qui se dresse sur son chemin.

John Milton a eu plusieurs vies : assassin, fugitif, justicier. Mais après des mois de sobriété durement gagnés, il a réussi à se remettre sur les rails… jusqu’à ce qu’un black-out dans une chambre d’hôtel à Manille vienne tout changer. Milton se réveille sans le moindre souvenir de la nuit précédente, avec une femme morte dans la pièce d’à côté et du sang sur les mains. Arrêté et jeté dans l’une des prisons les plus dangereuses d’Asie du Sud-Est, il comprend rapidement qu’il s’agit d’un coup monté. 

When Sir John Magill, the wealthy Irish industrialist, fails to show up at his hometown on a well-publicised visit, neither his family nor the Belfast police can explain his disappearance. Foul play is suspected when his bloodstained hat is discovered, and Scotland Yard is called in. With his characteristic genius for reconstruction, Inspector French evolves a gruesome theory about what happened to the elderly man, but his reputation - and that of Scotland Yard - will depend on finding out who was responsible.

A late-night murder of a diamond merchant’s veteran employee in London’s Hatton Gardens has Scotland Yard calling on Inspector French to investigate. When French gets there he finds not only the victim but missing diamonds and money from an open safe. There are meager clues as the Inspector follows a trail to mainland Europe and back. There are many false clues and several suspects with much of the searching leading to nothing but dead ends. We can listen as French sorts it all out, finding the missing diamonds and nabbing the murderer.
