When a Boston police detective finds himself moved to London to be part of a cultural exchange between the two cities, things are more than a little uncomfortable for the imported man.

Patrick (Paddy) O'Shea leaves his friends, family, wife, and life behind to embark on an adventure in policing in a new country.

He learns the local colloquialisms, the foods, and the slang. He also learns that he can find friends and foes by being who he is.

The first thing that Paddy has to do is work with his new partner, Mick Finnegan, on a crime that, on the surface, is not a crime at all. Several citizens have killed themselves in various ways. The interviews with victim spouses turn the inspectors' attention to a local voodoo priest.

The case gets deeper and proves to be much more than suicide when the inspectors discover a past mission, a history of bad behavior, and an accomplice who is willing to tell all.

When Paddy and Mick begin to tie the fringes together, they are challenged and pressured by the very man who should support them the most--the Chief Inspector.

Can Paddy and Mick collect enough evidence to arrest and convict their primary suspect before the deadline imposed by their supervisor?
