Phantom At The Feast
A Gripping Thriller Exploring the Human Cost of Secrets in a Modern Britain PHANTOM AT THE FEAST marks the return of the complex and compelling London policeman Detective Sergeant Rex King. Police stations are outdated, and AIâs make more efficient detectives, or so says a UK Home Office determined to make cuts. When the sole witness in a trafficking case is discovered brutally murdered, a brass horseshoe forced between his teeth, Detective Sergeant Rex King is summoned back to London and into a labyrinth of memory, music, and political unrest. From The Clashâs ragged 1985 busking tour to the fractured legacy of the anti-nuclear movement, Rex follows threads that tug uncomfortably at his own history â echoes he canât quite place, shadows that refuse to settle. When Rexâs boss, DCI 'Lollo' Lawrence, suddenly disappears, and long-buried papers from the Minersâ Strike surface, he must work alongside a sharp young detective, a seasoned former soul boy, and the National Crime Agencyâs unsettlingly brilliant new AI. Yet the deeper he travels, the more he finds the investigation folding back on him: professional loyalties strained, personal relationships tested, and accusations from his undercover past threatening to unmake him. Two murders, one 'misper' and a force under fire â has former âspycopâ DS Rex King finally met his match?
