Danny Lancaster has been missing since the fishing boat Rickyback exploded outside Brighton Marina. Police are winding down their inquiry but Wanda Lovejoy continues her one-woman campaign to find the truth. She told one newspaper, 'Danny served his country. There are scars, on his skin and under it. Despite what they say he's a decent guy with a good heart. Danny deserves his justice.'
Half a world away an evil man kept alive by machines in a private clinic nurses a corrosive hatred. He wants proof that Danny is dead.
As a toxic mix of drugs and disease pull his dying mind apart he throws the resources of his criminal empire into a scorched earth quest to find one man. If Danny Lancaster isn't dead he soon will be.
