About the Book
‘The Long Game isn’t just a thriller—it’s a psychological labyrinth with a morally complex core. Gritty, intelligent, and impossible to forget, this is a must-read for fans of crime fiction at its most powerful.’ ***** Reader review
A deadly conspiracy. A haunted detective. A fight against the untouchable.
When DCI Michael Dack is caught on camera abducting a young girl, the case should be open-and-shut. But nearly three years later, Dack resurfaces — not as a suspect, but as the head of a new police task force investigating a string of similar child exploitation crimes across London.
As the investigation deepens, so do the questions. Is Dack a rogue officer working undercover to expose a corrupt network? Or is he orchestrating the very horrors he claims to be hunting? His team is forced to confront the chilling possibility that the man leading the charge may be the monster they’re trying to stop.
Set against the gritty backdrop of modern-day London, The Long Game plunges into the murky world of police corruption, moral compromise and institutional rot. With echoes of real-world scandals, this is a tense psychological crime thriller, packed with jaw-dropping twists and morally grey characters that will keep readers turning pages deep into the night.
Perfect for fans of Line of Duty, Luther, and dark British police procedurals. If you like your crime fiction hard-hitting, thought-provoking and disturbingly plausible, you won’t be able to put this down.
