Аннотация

Jake Dillon, in his inaugural adventure thriller, is brought into the headquarters of Ferran & Cardini under the pretense of investigating a Cabinet Minister's sunken cruiser and its compromising cargo. At the bottom of the English Channel, not far from Sandbanks, Jake and his team find more than they bargained for! Entwined within the brief of keeping the Cabinet Minster's reputation intact is a dangerous operation to pass off a deal with the Sicilian Mafia. Jake puts his life on the line once again to go beyond the call of duty to protect more than just a minister's public image! While based in Sandbanks Jake's investigations bring him face to face with a generation of hate-fuelled revenge, greed and international drug deals that operate under a covert cloak of respectability. Calling in favours and using the best of his well-established contacts Jake starts to see beyond the brief. Partnered with his highly able colleague Vince Sharp and also seemingly 'landed' with agent Fiona Price, who has her own agenda that unfolds with every turn of this action-packed novel, Jake makes progress that unnerves even his stony-faced employers. The action bounds by land and sea, the length of the UK to the Balearics and Africa… Can the drug barons in Dorset force Jake's hand and how long will it take before the stench of blackmail and murder cloud every lead, leaving the ex-army intelligence officer wondering who he can trust within his undercover lair — if in fact anyone? This epic thriller sees the true colours the KGB, greed, the Sicilian Mafia, international drug cartels, the Bosnian conflict, duplicitous forgery and ultimately blackmail at the highest level!
