Tommy Hill walked back into Manchester on the tail of a thunderstorm, promising easy money and atonement for his former sins. Joe Wilkinson doesn't want anything to do with his former friend, but it's not going to work out that way.
When Hill turns up dead with his throat slashed open Joe's life gets dangerous. The Police think he's involved in the scheme that got Hill killed- and some want revenge for Hill's escape last time- and there are some dangerous characters who already think Joe is Hill's bag man.
Can Joe stay out of jail and alive long enough to keep his name clean?
And who is the mystery blonde who wants to buy his art?
