Dead or Missing
Simon Maddox is the laid back persona of an undercover police officer already living dangerously, trying to infiltrate a drug and people smuggling gang, when he is asked by his minder DI Helen Morris and her own superior officer to investigate the disappearance of Alan Gaff - another undercover policeman. It is only Maddox's bloody mindedness, his urge for freedom and unwillingness to properly keep his 'minder' informed that, quite literally, keeps him alive.

She works with Simon's friend Derek in a consultancy used by MI5 and Special branch - why are they so willing to help him stay alive and one step ahead of the people smuggling mob
