Publisher's Synopsis
Dick Farrell is a man haunted by his wartime memories of torture and fear - a time better forgotten. But past and present merge when a trip to Eastern Europe embroils him in the twighlight world of the industrial spy. Farrell becomes a reluctant player in a lethal game as the hunt shifts from Czechoslovakia to southern Italy. And there beneath the blazing summit of Vesuvius in full eruption, he comes face-to-face with the living ghosts of his past.
