When journalist Laura Kennedy hears of a deathbed confession her investigative instincts kick into action. Which is bad news for Daniel Trenet, former mercenary, and now a successful industrialist. But Trenet hasn’t built up a profitable business empire in international arms-dealing only to allow it to be threatened – and with it his luxurious lifestyle. When Steve Johnson – millionaire, former kidnap victim, and one of the new American owners of The Sunday Clarion – decides to accompany Laura on her mission neither of them realises the dangers they’ll face when Trenet unleashes the ruthless Ricardo Perez onto their trail. As they criss-cross Europe putting together the pieces of the puzzle, the race to stop them from finding the truth grows more frantic.
