What had begun as a honeymoon was soon to become a nightmare. A
millionaire blackmailed, a bride kidnapped and threatened with the
horrors of the international vice racket, murder - and, behind it all,
an utterly evil mastermind from whom no seemed safe. Put together, these
elements make up John Creasey's irresistible thriller as he creates a
true Battle for Inspector West.
