Book description
Thirteen years ago, surgeon Edward Hammond performed a life-saving
operation on Serbian gangster Dragan Gazi. Now Gazi is standing trial
for war crimes at the international court in The Hague. After Hammond
saved his life, Gazi's men went on to slaughter thousands in the
Balkan civil wars.
Now, in exchange for keeping Hammond's dirty little secret, Gazi's
family want a small favour: to find the man who knows what happened to
Gazi's money. But Italian financier Marco Piravani doesn't want to be
found. And no sooner has Hammond tracked him down than he disappears
again. Hammond has no choice but to set off across Europe in pursuit.
In Blood Count, every action has a consequence and every
question must have an answer. Only then might Hammond be able to lay
the past to rest...
