Detective Todd "Ratso" Holtom is as tough as they come. Born and bred in gritty London, he learned early how to spot criminals - eventually turning that skill into being a top Detective. Now he's handed a career-making case: destroy the elusive Boris Zandro's drug-running empire. But the ruthless kingpin has evaded every attempt to arrest him, despite being linked to a dozen murders. With a huge shipment of drugs due to arrive and no clarity on how Zandro's getting help, the trail to find answers takes Ratso around the world. Along the way, he is helped by troubled Florida detective Kirsty-Ann Webber - but Ratso can't afford to be distracted by his new alluring partner. Ratso knows the dangers. But if he doesn't stop Zandro, the political fallout - in London, Washington and the rest of the world - will be drastic.
