“Every man is the architect of his own future,

Missing public money, corruption at every turn, a suggested suicide and a growing body count.
Jerry Blake, after a long, hard-working career, has semi-retired and settled in his adopted home in Cumbria. After receiving a call from Franklin James, the current mayor of London, he agrees to come back to work incognito with the help of an old colleague, DS Rob Witlon.

After a source reveals that dubious accounting is depleting project funds for London, the police commissioner is dismissed, and Jerry has to get to the bottom of the blatant corruption that appears to be the passport to untold, unearned wealth.
