A Minister's Downfall

By Peter J Charles

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

​​

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 alliance was never meant to last.

​

It works — until a powerful MP assaults Pete’s wife and walks away without consequence.

​

Reporting it would expose Pete. Ignoring it would destroy Tom.

​

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

What begins as a targeted operation to bring down a predator quickly spirals beyond their control. The line between justice and revenge disappears. And the consequences reach further than either of them anticipated.

​

Because they’re no longer dealing with one man’s crimes.

​

They’ve stepped into a world where power protects itself and surveillance cuts both ways. Where a disgraced MP is the least of their problems — because Russian intelligence has been watching the same target for entirely different reasons.

​

Once those forces move, there are no rules. And there are no witnesses.

​

A Minister’s Downfall is a razor-sharp British crime thriller about two men pushed past the limits of the law — and into the reach of something much bigger.

​

Perfect for readers of Stephen Leather, Mick Herron, Daniel Silva and Mark Greaney.
