Lyssnade på denna bok som ljudbok och idag blev jag klar. Handlar om en polis som inom 24h går av sitt pass och går i pension. Ett mord har skett och London är i total Lockdown då en pandemi pågår. Macneil måste lösa ett fall som har med ben att göra. Ben hittas på en byggarbetsplats och macneil ska lösa mordet. Bara det att varje person som kommer i närheten av polisen dör Macneil inser att mördaren är ute efter honom och försöker stoppa honom från att lösa fallet. Detta sker samtidigt som London ligger nere och utegångsförbud har tillträtt pga den pandemi som sker. Tycker boken var riktigt bra skriven och det är verkligen bok som passar in i dagens samhälle.
