Jericho investigates the brutal murder of a young Jamaican in Notting Hill, and soon identifies it as a racial killing - but his work is interrupted when a wealthy businessman is kidnapped. But all is not as it seems - Sir Nicholas Wellesley has not been staying at his club or visiting his usual haunts...
Athletics golden boy Johnny Swann indulges in drink, drugs and gambling, plunging him deep in debt to the boss of an illegal casino, and becoming the victim of corruption.
Jericho investigates the killing of a scientist who has been targeted by anti-nuclear campaigners. However, a second murder means the attacks cannot be politically motivated. Jericho uncovers a link between the victims and becomes involved with a suspect, putting the case and his career at risk.
Jericho is set for television stardom, as he auditions to present a new crime series, but he is uncomfortable with this latest development in his celebrity status. The detective investigates the deaths of two young couples, and it emerges that the victims had visited a local cinema prior to their demise. Media coverage of the case suggests a link to notorious killings some years before, but also revives memories Jericho would rather forget. It soon transpires that he is not the only one battling with his past.
