Jane is assigned to the Met’s ‘Flying Squad’, known as ‘The Sweeney’. The Squad primarily investigates armed robberies. It is 1980 and Jane is the first woman squad member. (Get ready to read about some vicious sexism and prejudice.)
Jane is a terrific police woman; an accomplished detective with a very analytical mind and meticulous attention to detail. The men on the squad don't think a woman is up to the dangers they face when dealing with some of London's most ruthless armed criminals, who think the only 'good cop' is a dead cop. Determined to prove she's as good as the men, Jane discovers from a reliable witness that a gang is going to carry out a massive robbery involving millions of pounds.
The best book in the series so far. A fast action packed crime novel, great crime writing at its best. I couldn't put the book down as each puzzle of the crime was solved and pieced together.
