A Grave Coffin

Dying Words

Next to the body of the murdered police officer was a note with the scrawled words "Ask Coffin." But what is it that John Coffin, Commander of London's Second City police, is supposed to know?

The victim, Harry Seton, was investigating a ring of counterfeit pharmaceuticals, and was also secretly looking into some internal police corruption. Did his cryptic message refer to either case? Or could it be a link to Coffin's other serious concern at the moment: the disappearance of four schoolboys, one of whom has been found murdered?

As Coffin begins to probe into his colleague's corruption investigation, he discovers a startling connection. The missing boys were related to members of the Second City force. As the mounting terror strikes closer to home, Coffin follows a dark trail to the places of deep evil . . . and ultimate sin.
