When a wealthy German businessman mysteriously disappears without a trace and the Police discover the mutilated body of a wanted Bosnian war criminal, awkward questions are going to be asked. Awkward for who? Awkward for me, that’s who. And that, my friend, is just the tip of the iceberg. I never intended that my life would be a complicated one, but complicated it has turned out to be. After his release from prison, for a murder he did not commit, Stephen Caldwell worked hard to get his life back on track. It may appear that he is now a successful entrepreneur with a comfortable life, surrounded by family and friends but, beneath the charade lurks a world of lies, deception, criminality and intrigue. Stephen is plagued by his conscience and those who will stop at nothing to take what’s his, conspiring to drag him back to a time and a place where he no longer wants to be. The time has come when too many people know the truth and Stephen can feel that the walls are closing in. One way or another, he needs to escape from the life which he has made, but can he?
