A high seas adventure following super-spy Paul Chavasse, this action-packed novel of gangland violence was originally published under the pseudonym Martin J Fallon.
When the body of gangland boss Harvey Preston is discovered in the nets of a local fishing boat in the English Channel, undercover agent Paul Chavasse is tapped by British Intelligence to determine whether there's a connection between the victim and a cross-channel smuggling ring.
As Chavasse makes toward the center of the local criminal activity, he realizes this is no small-time operation. And if he doesn't act quick, that discover may be his last.
