As bodies pile up and pressure mounts, King can't shake the feeling that they are chasing an assailant who is always one step ahead. \"Someone is flying a flag of many colours,\" he mutters grimly, a warning that loyalties are shifting, and the truth may be more elusive than ever.\u003cbr\u003eIn this gripping historical mystery thriller, justice is not easily won, and the past refuses to stay buried.
