Good Cop Bad Cop by Simon Kernick - Goodreads
In fact, the whole story has a distinct The Usual Suspects feel with its flashbacks, interrogations and unreliable witnesses.And I know what an imposition it is for you to come all this way to see some curious old man, which is why you’ll find that the money I promised should already be in your account, if you’d like to check. Teller has painstakingly collated information, interviewed witnesses and reconstructed the peripheral lives of those involved, finally arriving at a showdown with Sketty, the lynchpin of the whole affair. There’s a really great dramatic piece which feels like the crescendo with a shooting at the restaurant which feels like the end of the book but in some respects only just starting.

Present: Now no longer with the Force, Chris Sketty has since lost everything that mattered to him, his family and his career. We are firmly in gangland territory here, much of the action is undercover, but this is a London police procedural with added zip. Blackmailed by the mysterious man, Sketty spends the night telling the story of what really happened during the course of the events leading up to the attack, the role he played and how the events really transpired. with a revelation so shocking that nothing will be the same again, his story, from the start to the end! After all, he’ll only be providing security for nightclub owner Roy Fowler during one of his business meetings.The book moves on at great pace and When Sketty is part of an undercover mission that doesn’t turn out the way it’s planned we are left wondering does Sketty know more about what happened than he is letting on and is he really the hero of the hour.
