Description
A detective in financial ruin. A deadly human trafficking network. One man orchestrating it all.
Months have passed since Henry Matheson, one of east London's most dangerous criminals, was arrested. Since then, DC Jake Tanner and the team at Stratford CID have been making sure the case is watertight.
But when a sudden and disastrous fraudulent attack decimates Jake's personal finances, he is propelled into the depths of a dark and dangerous underworld, where few resurface.
With no money and no help from the authorities he works for, Jake uncovers The Company, a human trafficking network operating in the heart of east London.
At the head of it all is The Cabal, tightening the noose around Jake and everything he loves until there's nothing left.
To put an end to it, Jake must move over the line of duty and into the world of unknowns.
Over the Line is a gritty crime thriller perfect for fans of Simon McCleave, Rachel McLean, and the BBC's Line of Duty.
