Lynda La Plante
The first book in a brand-new thriller series by the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante. A burnt-out cottage, a fortune buried in the ashes - and a body that could solve a decades-old crime....
Jack Warr is a young DC with the Metropolitan Police. Charming but aimless, Jack can't seem to find his place in the world - until he's drawn into an investigation that turns his life upside down.
In the aftermath of a fire at a derelict cottage, a badly charred body is discovered, along with the burnt remnants of millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes - the hidden legacy of Dolly Rawlins and her gang of Widows.
Jack's assignment to the case coincides with an investigation into his own past. As he searches for the truth about his identity, Jack finds himself increasingly drawn into a murky underworld of corruption and crime. Those millions have not been forgotten - and Jack will stop at nothing to find the truth.
An exciting and action packed new thriller, with roots in La Plante's best-selling novels, Widows, Widows' Revenge and She's Out.

it is described as a thriller, but I read cozy mysteries with more action. It is mostly talking and much of it tangential to the main plot line or even more appropriate for a soap.
Speaking of mysteries, this is not really a mystery either, since the reader learns most of what's going on 1/3 into the book, and there are almost no mysteries left by the time we are hafway in (all that is left is for the cops to figure it out, and to us to discover whether the bad guys get away with it.)
Not that one should even expect a deep and convoluted mystery, not when the author seems unable even to keep her chronology straight (e.g., the book is set in 2019; the body discovered in its opening pages is described as "late 30s to mid-40s"; and we later learn that it was the body of someone who was a married police officer in 1995.)
Plot devices range from improbable (a random 1980s London gangster entering the picture simultaneously along two completely independent lines); to highly improbable (a gang of supposedly highly competent criminals, who manage to pull off the biggest train robbery in decades, planning all along to stash the loot in the one place where it would be virtually impossible for them to get it back); to utterly ridiculous (a bunch of ex-cons getting a government permit to open a group home for children.)
And all of it is spiced up with multiple gratuitous and irrelevant references to pedophiles (the term, which, according to the author, does include a man of any age, down to late teens, who is sexually attracted to a 15 year old, but seemingly does not include elderly ladies wrestling 9 year old boys to the ground and forcibly kissing them.)
