Justice for None
A year has passed since Malcolm left the circle. He's returned to H Division and taken on the new role of inspector. Everything seems to have worked out, but nothing is ever as it seems.
Lesley and Julian, in the aftermath of their loss, find themselves thrown into a new case that they find themselves unable to get away from. Against his wishes and his judicial authority, Lesley's fellow politicians and cabinet members vote to do the unthinkable: pardon the notorious Drake brothers and use them as informants. The Drakes will comply, but their one condition has serious consequences attached.
Thrown back together again, Malcolm, Lesley, and Julian will have to work together to make sure the twins obey their national duty, but anything involving Tommy and Timmy is never easy. Malcolm's past experience with Timmy is brought back into the light, and Julian struggles to make sense of a piece of his own family's past he'd never even fathomed.
Throughout all this, none of them have any idea just what the Drakes are up to.
Their ignorance will come at a severe, devastating price.
