Darwin Litton's ex-squeeze is brutally and mysteriously murdered in Ireland. As an experienced fantasist and self-appointed pack leader, Darwin assembles an unwitting team of intrepid investigators to set sail for the distant shores of Wales to follow up on the only lead they have. Wales is not quite as leek as they had hoped, and a world of serious crime, kidnaps, multiple murders, and international hit men draws them in. Their investigations take them to an underworld of Witness Protection, Special Forces and Government cover-ups. "This fast-paced story cleverly combines page-turning drama and the sharpest of humour as it darts skilfully through the twists and turns of a classic thriller." This is the first in a series of novels by Stuart Anderson featuring the investigative adventures of Darwin Litton.
