Thin Ice (Strike a Match 5)
Twenty years after the apocalyptic Blackout, steam-trains and the telegraph have replaced smartphones and satellites, but while some still fear technology, many dream of its return.
With a stalemate on the frozen frontlines in France, minds in Britain turn towards peace. But when the outlawed members of the Loyal Brigade begin a campaign of arson and terror, the Serious Crimes Unit must crack their code before someone is killed.

2019: The AIs went to war. They spread throughout the world, infecting every networked circuit. Millions died in the nuclear holocaust that brought an abrupt end to the AI’s brief reign of terror. Billions more succumbed to radiation, famine, and disease. But millions survived, and they rebuilt.
2039: A ceremony is being held to mark the first transatlantic broadcast since The Blackout. The British Prime Minister and two of the Presidents of the United States will speak to an audience of nearly ten million people. Not all are celebrating. Crime is on the rise, and power is once again a prize worth murdering for.
Ruth Deering lied about her age to join the police. She wanted to see the world and escape the smog-infested city. Those hopes are dashed when she is assigned to the Serious Crimes Unit, commanded by the disgraced Sergeant Mitchell. Her first case seems like a simple murder, but the investigation uncovers a counterfeiting ring and a conspiracy that threatens to destroy their fragile democracy.
