Nick Paice is in trouble again as he finds himself embroiled in another dangerous exploit. Once more his life is on the line. Disillusioned, he'd quit his job as a top news reporter but a knock on the door of his rural retreat shatters the isolation and peace he'd sought and drags him back into the murky world of crime and corruption that he'd written about so much and thought he'd left behind.A simple mission to bring home a missing girl sucks him ever deeper into a quagmire of violence and subterfuge where he runs head on into political corruption, crooked financial deals and a doctor who's peddling death in a desperate bid to survive.It's a matter of life or death for Paice when his quest for the big story means taking on the boss of a major crime syndicate, powerful forces in the political elite and a brutal dictator. Survival means keeping one step ahead on a dangerous path that's strewn with illicit diamonds, deception and death.
