Tom Whitehead had never heard of Operation Gold Dust. Why would he? No reason for a respected, middle-class academic, loving husband and father of two to be aware of an international investigation into internet paedophilia. Until he finds himself at the centre of it. Raided by the police at dawn, and in the full glare of the paparazzi, Tom is hauled away for questioning. About the pornography found on his computer at work. About the fact it was paid for with his credit card. About the overwhelming, conclusive evidence against him. Yesterday he was an academic writing a book about industrial unrest. Today he is a monster.

As he is questioned, he discovers that this was no random search - he has been under investigation for some time. The police acquired his details from the National Criminal Intelligence Service – via the FBI. But why? And how?

Tom needs help to prove he’s been framed, and his lawyer introduces him to Moran, a private detective who has learnt that no one in authority is in any way trustworthy. An opinion rapidly justified as the sinister truth begins to emerge.
