      Maurice Mundy, a recently retired detective, returns to Scotland Yard. Ten years ago a boy was murdered. Another look at the case reveals that a sex worker was also murdered that same night, but nothing linked the two murders at the time. As Mundy probes into the events of that fateful night, will his maverick approach be a dangerous step too far?

      Introducing Maurice Mundy, retired detective constable at the Met; a maverick who''s back and about to raise the temperature on a ten-year-old unsolved murder of a young boy.

      Maurice Mundy, recently retired detective constable at the Metropolitan Police, has returned to join Scotland Yard''s Cold Case Review Team. Ten years ago a twelve-year-old boy was murdered, his body left floating in a nearby pond. A second look at the case soon reveals that a sex worker was also murdered nearby on the same night.

      While nothing linked the two murders at the time, it is one of a number of attacks on sex workers over a twenty-year period that Essex Police are still investigating as part of Operation Moonlight.

      Known as a loose cannon who doesn''t always play by the rules, Mundy is in danger of ruffling more than a few feathers as he probes deeper into the events of that fateful night. Will his maverick approach lead him to the truth, or will it prove to be a dangerous step too far?
