Book description
Meet Charles Boxer - ex-army, ex-police and now a high-stakes kidnap
recovery specialist, he knows only too well how the dark forces in the
city can reach out and ensnare an innocent victim.
The hostage is the beautiful Alyshia D'Cruz, daughter of Indian tycoon
Francisco 'Frank' D'Cruz. After a boozy night out she gets into the
wrong cab home and Boxer is the only man Frank will trust to go down
into the criminal underworld to retrieve her.
Boxer knows that Frank's crooked business empire has made him plenty of
enemies, but despite the vast D'Cruz fortune, the kidnappers don't want
his cash. They prefer a crueller, more lethal game and to have any
chance of saving Alyshia, Boxer must play it out with religious
fanatics, London's home-grown crime lords and Indian mobsters, as his
trail crosses paths with a terrorist plot on British soil.
