Works of: Fiction
Publisher(s): Cranthorpe Millner

Detective Sergeant Mark Carter is drawn into a major undercover operation targeting Freddie Morgan, a ruthless criminal controlling a lucrative heroin network across London.

As surveillance teams, covert officers and informants begin to penetrate Morgan’s organisation, Carter must navigate a world in which loyalties are uncertain, operational decisions carry deadly consequences and the greatest threat may come from within the investigation itself.

Written by a former Detective Superintendent with extensive experience of serious and organised crime, Covert takes the reader behind the scenes of a complex police operation, revealing the pressures, moral compromises and personal rivalries rarely seen by the public.

Fast-paced, compelling and grounded in authentic policing, Covert is the first novel by Neville Blackwood.

“Few recent crime novels can have had a more authentic insider’s perspective—and every scene feels real.”
— Peter Walsh, co-author of The Betrayer, the book that inspired the hit Netflix series Legends
