#1 - If I Should Die
A homeless man walks into Greenwich police station and confesses to murder, an admission that should have cracked open a murder enquiry. Instead, he stumbles out on to the street and collapses, bleeding from a stab wound.
The newest member of the Met's murder investigation team, twenty-five year-old Afghan veteran Joseph Stark, doesn't believe the man's story. Yet it becomes clear that Stark and the down-and-out share a connection that could unlock the case.
The young detective and his colleagues are drawn deeper into a dark, disturbing world, where there's enough at stake for a man to risk everything.

No longer a trainee but a freshly-minted Detective Constable, Joseph Stark finds himself working a double homicide. Thomas and Mary Chase were shot dead in their London home, and first impressions are that this is a burglary-gone-bad.
