Later, they realize that they are dealing with international human traffickers, bringing Russian police to the country. Nash’s skills are tested by the string of brutal crimes that threaten to ruin his anticipated peaceful life.

They inform the local police that their Anglo-Russian alliance will rise against a criminal conspiracy ruled by very dangerous men who view humans as meaningless and unimaginable cruelty. They form a joint task force to investigate the criminal network linked to drugs, prostitution, and human trafficking.
However, Nash’s earlier occupation with internal politics and the attractive Russian policewoman has become a distraction. Later, a young victim escapes the hands of the gangs and gives Nash a lot of information which he uses as evidence. When a search is conducted on the surrounding tarns, more evidence indicates more heinous crimes.

The first discovery happens to be the beginning of more bodies, and a simple investigation turns into suspicious deaths making it a complicated multiagency issue. Alongside all the difficulties of catching a criminal organization dominated in Europe, Nash has to work with Major Crimes Unit, an external organization that answers no one.

DI Nash is driven by the desire to serve justice but obstructed by rivalries and the weight of the operation. The twists and turns bring tension, building to a dramatic climax. The story is set in fictional Yorkshire market towns, small villages, and countrysides.
