The city is in the grip of winter, but the chill deepens for thief-taker Simon Westow and his young assistant, Jane, when the body of Laurence Poole, a petty local thief, emerges from the melting snow by the river at Flay Crow Mill. A coded notebook found in Laurence' s room mentions Charlie Harker, the most notorious fence in Leeds who' s now running for his life, and the mysterious words: To the dark. What was Laurence hiding that caused his death? Simon' s hunt for the truth pits him against some dangerous, powerful enemies who' ll happily kill him in a heartbeat - if they can.
