When a woman is found unconscious on a ping-pong table in Peckham’s Warwick Gardens, it looks like a case of mistaken identity. Why would anyone want to injure this popular local mum of six? But Jim Domino, ex-CID detective turned private eye, keeps asking questions.

As the crime escalates to murder, Domino’s investigations take him to the leafy Thames Valley and plunge him into a dark world of ruthless people-traffickers and drug dealers. Might these sinister activities be linked to the Peckham murder?

Assisted by sharp observations from his six-year-old grandson, Danny, Domino finds that important clues can come from unexpected sources.
