Lenny's turned his back on the past. In return for police protection and a lighter sentence, he's grassed up his old gangland boss and he's hoping that eventually he'll be free to start a new life with Amanda.

But the past isn't giving up on him yet. New man on the block Mick Carlotti fancies himself as a crime lord – he doesn't have the contacts or the business acumen, but he knows a man who does. He also knows exactly how to get Lenny to play ball.

Caught between Carlotti's rock and the hard place of a life sentence for a murder he didn't commit, Lenny's running out of choices. Turning his life around is going to be a lot harder than he thinks.

Set just after events in Calling the Tune, this shorter novella is Lenny's story and contains adult material.
