Covert - Paperback

by Neville Blackwood (Author)

In the shadows of 1990s London, untouchable crime boss Freddie Morgan rules by fear.

Tasked with bringing him down, Detective Sergeant Mark Carter is seconded to a covert Met Police unit, whose aim is to infiltrate Morgan's heroin operation.

Backed by a fraudster-turned-informant with everything to lose, Mark knows that one wrong move means exposure and certain death. But as the undercover sting tightens, he uncovers something far more dangerous: corruption within his own ranks.

With the lines between law and crime beginning to blur, Mark is forced to confront a brutal question: who can he trust when even his own team may be compromised?

Neville Blackwood is a former senior detective, whose career spanned more than thirty years investigating some of the UK's most dangerous criminals. Drawing on his first hand experience with undercover operations, he delivers a tense, believable, and disturbingly real insight into covert policing.
