"Masters' sense of irony and compassion for his characters makes it all the more pleasure to read" SHOT IN THE DARK To Daniel Boyd, ex Metropolitan Police CID, a new identity does not present a problem. On the contrary - it not only provides him with a fresh start but also a completely new life. After a long period in hospital Boyd rejoins the Met, as an undercover officer about to infiltrate one of the traditional South London criminal families. Auntie Vi and Freddy Cole specialise in protection, gaming, motor trade fraud and robbery - but they don't do drugs. Their son Eric, though, is rumoured to be smuggling vast amounts of heroin through Gatwick Airport. Boyd goes undercover as a small-time crook, infiltrating the Cole household as chauffeur to Auntie Vi. Soon he becomes a good and faithful servant until a bomb rips apart the Cole's home.
