The detective pair of Cyrus Barker and Thomas Llewelyn are working in their offices on a typical Monday morning when an explosion targets their very lives. Barker is injured badly and Llewelyn fears that his impending wedding will not occur. As Barker works to recover it is up to Llewelyn to determine which enemy or enemies has targets them.

In an interesting turn of plot Barker's brother, Caleb, a rogue who has not kept in touch with him, appears to "help" the duo discover who blew their offices apart. Barker does not trust his brother and tells his partner so emphasizing that Caleb probably has his own agenda. Nevertheless, Llewelyn grudgingly accepts Caleb's help. They need to find who their enemy is and thwart his plans before one or both of them die.

This is an interesting novel with Llewelyn leading the investigation, aided by a bed-ridden Barker and Caleb. The pool of culprits is large but one by one trio must eliminate the wouldbe murderers. I quite enjoyed this novel and particularly liked Caleb. His efforts added so much to the tale.
