Two brothers. One woman. And an inheritance that could destroy them all . . .
From the stink and heat of a Marseille prison cell, Jason Ricardo's prospects are shrinking fast. The French authorities take a dim view of smuggling drugs and illegal immigrants, and an extended stay in the Baumettes seems unavoidable. Until his brother Hugh - upstanding Managing Director of the family shipping and haulage firm - turns up out of the blue to bail him out.
But Hugh's gesture is not entirely selfless. Their widowed mother May, whose lust for life is matched only by her lack of responsibility, has become involved with charismatic Hungarian entrepreneur Charlie Seker, who seems to be siphoning off Jason and Hugh's inheritance at an alarming rate. Hugh wants Jason to do a bit of sleuthing and find out if there's more to Seker's charitable work with East European refugees than meets the eye.
As Jason begins to infiltrate Seker's business dealings, he starts to uncover a horrifying world of depravity and corruption, and soon he's wondering just what kind of bargain he has made with his brother - and whether he might not be safer taking his chances behind bars. Especially when Hugh's alluring wife, Rosie, gets involved . . .
