House of Cards meets Jack Reacher in this explosive debut novel from Ted Denton. An exhilarating action thriller set against the backdrop of professional golf, political double dealing, corporate corruption and brutal violence.
Ted Denton's explosive debut novel is an exhilarating action thriller pitching the privileged seductive world of a professional sports' agent against a backdrop of political double dealing, corporate corruption and brutal violence.
A young Daniel Ratchet arrives in Spain to begin his dream job as a golf agent on the European Tour. In London, the Russian Rublex Corporation, with its history mired in 'Vory' mafia criminality, is working on a huge gas deal off the Falkland Islands with the British government. Veteran civil servant Derek Hemmings is tasked to rubber-stamp the deal for the Foreign Office.
But things are not what they seem ... With the help of Wallace, a cantankerous old golf coach, Daniel discovers match fixing, fraud and corruption on the Tour, all at the seeming behest of Rublex. A thorn in the Russians' side, Daniel is kidnapped before he can expose the truth. Wallace, needing help, contacts an old army buddy who deploys violent loose cannon Tom Hunter on the mission to save him.
A tense race against time ensues - both to rescue Daniel from the clutches of the 'Vory' and for Hemmings in Whitehall to prove that the deadly deal is corrupt. The stakes are high. As the body count mounts will the volatile Hunter get to the truth or will he be just too late?
Dead or alive. The truth always comes at a cost.
