Book Description
Tom Hackett isn't a criminal. Not as he sees it. To himself he's a man who lives on his wits, and if what he does is not strictly honest - well, so what if no-one gets hurt? After all, it's only money. From being a night club bouncer, he becomes the personal driver to Declan Corrigan, a London gang boss. He steals £50,000 from Corrigan and so signs his own death warrant. On the run he comes across the challenge of two rich and elderly old men - identical twins who do not know which of them is the older. Hackett is able to enlighten them - at a price, of course. Then ex D.I Johnson comes on the scene.
