The man they couldn’t arrest
by Dennis3158
London is a city built on secrets. By day, it is the capital of an empire. By night, invisible hands shape its fortunes from the shadows. Politicians, financiers, spies and criminals all believe they control the board, until a mysterious ivory letter addressed only to The Custodian disappears before it reaches its destination. That single theft awakens a hidden war. At the centre of it stands a man whose identity no government can confirm, whose movements leave no trace, and whose existence is whispered about only by those who survive encountering him. To some he is a vigilante. To others, a criminal mastermind. Scotland Yard knows him by only one description: the man they couldn’t arrest. As Inspector Arthur Delbury races to unravel a string of impossible crimes, every clue leads deeper into a clandestine organization that has quietly manipulated London’s power for decades. Assassinations disguised as accidents, encrypted messages hidden in plain sight, and an intelligence network capable of predicting human behaviour threaten to plunge the nation into chaos. Every move reveals another secret. Every secret exposes another betrayal. In a city where everyone is watching someone else, the greatest danger is not being hunted. It is discovering that your entire life has already been planned by someone you’ve never met. — Description from novelcodex.org
