A ship leaves Canada bound for France but there’s a storm at sea and the vessel is wrecked in the English Channel.
Seventy five years later the chess playing detective, Davies King, investigates the connection between the escape of a handful of petty criminals from a prison van; a vicious murder, a sunken ship in the English Channel, a corrupt American politician, and ‘organised crime’.

Will Britain’s most annoying petty criminals outwit the stressed-out detective?
Faced with overwhelming odds, the exhausted Davies King must come to terms with failure and re-ignite ‘loyalty’. On the doorstep of bribery, corruption and kidnap, the detective recognises an emerging catastrophe which is likely to destroy the foundations of an Anglo-American agreement and destroy that special relationship.
But loyalty is the last stand and it’s beyond his control.
Review:
Another epic page turner from the pen of Paul Anthony. He grabs you on page one and won't let you go until the end. A great plot from a formidable crime writer.....
