A Minister’s Downfall – A Tom Kessler Operation – Book 2

​​

When a straight‑edged undercover detective steps into the shadows and a meticulous high‑end cocaine dealer shakes his hand, they agree on one thing only: justice comes before rules.

​

Tom Kessler has spent sixteen years putting dangerous men behind bars. Pete Johnson has spent just as long staying one step ahead of them. Their uneasy alliance holds until a powerful MP assaults Pete’s wife and walks away untouched. Reporting it would expose Pete. Ignoring it would destroy Tom.

​

So they do the unthinkable. They take him on themselves.

What begins as a covert operation to expose a predator spirals into something far darker. As the stakes rise from personal revenge to international fallout, Tom and Pete are dragged into a world of surveillance, betrayal, and escalating violence. Every move pulls them deeper into a game run by men far more dangerous than either imagined, where foreign intelligence services are watching, and one mistake could cost them everything.

​

They wanted justice. They triggered something far more complex.

A Minister’s Downfall is a razor‑sharp British crime thriller with international intrigue, written with the authenticity only an ex‑drug squad detective can deliver.

 

Perfect for readers who crave procedural precision, moral complexity, and characters pushed far beyond the line.

For fans of Stephen Leather, Mick Herron, Mark Greaney, Henry Porter and Daniel Silva.
