Thrown Under the Bus (Paterson & Clocks #10)

Monday morning. 8.30 a.m. Chris Striker has seen it all. But nothing like this. He’s in charge of London’s Traffic Management System. Now he stares at his screen in horror. A woman deliberately steps into the path of an oncoming lorry at Tower Bridge. Killed on impact.

At the same moment, a man steps in front of a bus on London Bridge. Two other people stare at their phones, then launch themselves into the rush hour traffic.

Just who — or what — is controlling them?

Something about Striker’s account doesn’t add up. Detectives Paterson and Clocks race to his flat — and find the place ransacked. A note is taped to the kitchen door. One word: Retribution.

Paterson and Clocks are about to encounter their most powerful enemy yet. A sinister mastermind with a frighteningly long reach. Are they about to be thrown under the proverbial bus?
