Nights out at the Empire Club can be murder!
London, 1930. The tranquillity of suburban Craynebrook is disturbed when a lifeless and nameless body is found dumped on the local common.
Enter newly promoted Detective Inspector Matthew Stannard, a policeman with a reputation that precedes him and which threatens to drag him down.
As Matthew embarks on his investigation, an another, more sinister plot demands his attention. One by one, members of an exclusive upper-middle-class social club are meeting an untimely demise, leaving their community in a state of panic that they might be next.
With the stakes higher than ever before, Matthew is under immense pressure from above to solve the case before the killer strikes again.
As the bodies pile up, Matthew's career and reputation hang in the balance. Will he be able to catch the killer and prove his previous success wasn't a one-off? Or will this case be his downfall?
