Synopsis

Has someone got away with murder?

On the verge of a four-billion-dollar deal, a tech entrepreneur from Shoreditch is found dead in a construction site, which leads to the discovery of three skeletons over a hundred years old.

But as fresh bodies turn up, can Detective Kamil - along with his friend Anjoli - prevent another murder?

Desperate to solve his first case for the Met, will Kamil put his reputation on the line... then cross it?
