A young woman is kidnapped by members of her family to be 'sold' as repayment of a failed property business deal. The evil landowner, a self-styled 'witch doctor', brokered this arrangement for his own perverted pleasures. An ex-soldier who had somewhat lost his way in life is offered the opportunity to take on a contract to recover the girl from her captors in Africa-a rescue mission funded from a surprising source not normally connected with a mercenary action.
The tale of the quality of the man recruited for this fast moving mission of mercy is outlined against his troubled resettlement into civilian life and efforts to restore his pride in himself.
The fast moving operation takes our soldier of fortune from the UK to The Volta Region of Ghana in West Africa culminating in a quick but savage encounter in the pursuit of the abductors and their victim.
