Publisher's Synopsis
Horton and Cantelli are called to a nursing home where an elderly resident claims she's been attacked by an intruder. Horton is ready to dismiss it as senile rambling until he discovers that her room-mate has died, the dead woman's belongings are missing and her son, convicted for armed robbery, has been found dead in his cell. Soon, to his surprise, Horton finds he is caught up in a complex investigation that has far-reaching international implications. With the pressure on to find the killers, and hampered by his belief that his bosses are lying to him, Horton discovers that he's stepped into a web of intrigue, deception and corruption that stretches far back into the past.
