Another tightly written thriller to supplement the highly successful 'Jack Mawgan' series. This time Jack takes on a dark and callous foe whose evil methods include medieval torture delivered under a cloak of religious fanaticism. A knock on the door of his London apartment - a beautiful woman needs his help. Jack sets out on on another crime-fighting adventure that nearly costs him his life. Once again Jack finds he is unable to resist the challenge to his detective skills. He is faced with the apparently motiveless murder of four Romanian men who are found floating in the Thames. What could possibly link the murders in London to Rome, Bucharest and the Falklands? The answer involves shocking revelations of a British plan to launch a nuclear attack in South America and uncovers corruption in the Catholic Church on a global scale. Jack has his work cut out.
