After escaping a world of violence, and rebuilding his life in Italy, forty-year-old Branen wakes up one morning to the message that his daughter has been viciously murdered. Aware his past has caught up with him Branen is forced to return to his old hunting ground to find the killer. His search brings him into conflict with the British Secret Service and Soho’s underworld including: Harry, a loner addicted to a cocktail of vodka and mead combined with amphetamines; Snowman, dealer for Soho’s glitterati; Michelle de Lavigne, a multi-millionaire club owner.
Branen is determined to stop at nothing to erase the final links to his past, but in an effort to get rid of his pursuers, and receive justice for his daughter, he finds that he is faced with the prospect that his only chance of success could result in his death.
