Finding yourself the sole beneficiary of a 20.6 million legacy from someone unrelated and totally unknown to you should be like winning the lottery. But Simon Preston's windfall begins to look like a poisoned chalice when he becomes the target of a psychopathic hit man. Suddenly his priority becomes survival.
Determined to find out why his centenarian benefactor, the late General Crozier, should leave his fortune to a total stranger and who his dangerous enemies are, Simon fights back.
As the body count rises, he doggedly pursues his investigations and opens up a Pandora's box of betrayal and death going back to the dark days of bloody carnage on the Western Front during the First World War. He also discovers harrowing links to his own family past and finds love and hope for the future - if he can stay alive.
