Synopsis

A new novel by J Lawrie-Welsh

Politics, love affairs, criminality and revenge make a powerful mix in this follow-up novel to Cuelsin.

Corrupt businessmen are siphoning millions out of EU budgets. Robert McAlister is engaged to invest the activities of one such group and liaises with ex-colleagues from British Intelligence. McAlister is compromised when a Frenchwoman with whom he becomes involved is abducted by the gang.

As the criminals become increasingly frustrated their violence calls for measures that go beyond both the agents’ instinct and training.
