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.
In exchange for keeping Hammond's dirty little secret - and a bigger secret he hadn't even realised he was implicated in - Gazi's family want to find the man who knows what happened to Gazi's money. But Italian financier Marco Piravani doesn't want to be found. No sooner has Hammond tracked him down than he disappears again. Hammond has no choice but to set off across Europe in pursuit.
In this novel, every action has a consequence and every question must have an answer. Only then might Hammond be able to lay the past to rest...
