no edit summary
Former Metropolitan Police detective, Jake Johnson, has settled into his rustic life at Little Sky. There’s perhaps a little uncertainty about the future of his life with his vet girlfriend, Livia and her daughter Diana, as moving in together would mean a lot of compromise: does Jake give up his off-grid and relaxing life to move in with Livia or does Livia move to Little Sky despite her reservations about whether or not this is the future she wants for herself and her daughter? For the moment they’re enjoying life in the present and putting the future on the back burner.
 
And so life might have continued had it not been for the approach from DCI Watson. Jake had worked with him on a case a couple of years ago and Watson would now like Jake’s help again. A young girl has been snatched and he’s run out of clues to pursue - except for a crumpled business card on which is printed ‘No Taboos’. Jake’s aware that there’s a shady organisation of that name - a concierge service to supply the super rich with experiences which they would not otherwise be able to obtain legally. He found it difficult to investigate when he was a detective: it’s going to be even more difficult now but the fate of young Laura worries him. Livia has a different approach: she’s more worried about the safety of their burgeoning family.
