A family's criminal past. A fast-rising detective. A murder that the law alone cannot avenge. DS 'Razor' Burns thought he had escaped his upbringing amid London's underworld. But after he is accused of staging the drowning of his wife on a Spanish beach, his only chance of finding justice lies on the wrong side of the law. Leksi Lam is a sharp criminal attorney who thought defending Burns would advance her career. Yet he might just be the first innocent client she has ever had. In an unlikely alliance, the pair are forced to confront the very forces of law and order that they have always held sacred. Can Burns trust his criminal connections to help him find the truth? Should Lam trust her gut instincts, even if it means risking everything she has worked for? And how far over to the dark side is one man prepared to go to avenge his wife - and save himself? Against the Tide is the first book in the Razor Burns and Leksi Lam series of action-filled international crime thrillers. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci and Mark Dawson.
