A U.S. Marshal and her prisoner are gunned down outside London's Heathrow Airport before the prisoner can testify against her boyfriend, the head of a violent animal-rights group. Keen Dunliffe, a Detective Sergeant stationed in Leeds - nearly two hundred miles away - doesn't seem like the right man for the case. But with an American federal agent dead and homegrown terrorists on the loose, Keen's undercover experience and knowledge of Yorkshire - the terrorists' backyard - come into play.
He's ordered to head up a sting operation with Rachel Colver, an inexperienced police constable, who may have personal ties that will help her infiltrate the animal-rights group. However, Keen is worried about a plan that puts Rachel in obvious peril. The two hunker down and start working the case from the inside - while at the same time the most widespread outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease ever to strike the English countryside is decimating livestock.
Brutal extremists and police politics collide in a plot involving murder, intimidation, smuggling, and blackmail - with lethal consequences - in Kingdom of Silence, the second mystery in Lee Wood's richly imagined and superbly nuanced series featuring DS Keen Dunliffe.
