As the investigation progresses, Robson, Wilson and their colleagues find themselves facing something far beyond normal detective work. Unthinkable connections lead them to a conspiracy, so great it could change the course of humanity. The question is, can they intervene before it's too late to prevent the appalling future that potentially lies ahead… Arcam is the stunning debut thriller by Jason Minick, and is the first book in the DCI Robson series.
