Inspector West Kicks off Gareth Armstrong

Guy Randall wasn't expecting a sudden and violent death - but that is was he got. As Inspector Roger West follows the threads to find the murderers, he is repeatedly led back to some thefts from a chain-store. What's more, nearly all involved belong to a well-known London football club. In a heart-stopping climax, West smokes out the villains in front of thousands of roaring spectators - and risks death on the pitch. Can he ultimately achieve his goal and catch them?
