Publisher's Synopsis
Investigative journalist Riley Gavin has problems. Work is thin on the ground, her long-distance love life looks set to stay that way, and former redcap Frank Palmer, her occasional partner-in-crimebusting, has disappeared after a disturbing chance encounter. When Frank eventually surfaces, his determination to pursue justice for an old friend put him and Riley in deadly danger from past enemies, vicious gangsters and the sticky threads of British intelligence - not to mention a bitter old woman with a burning desire for revenge.
