description: A purchase at a second-hand bookshop seems an innocent enough event. Tony Shelton hadn't expected it to be anything but that – and he certainly hadn't expected it to throw him head first into the world of violence, blackmail and robbery. For it becomes clear that the book has a rather higher price than he paid for it – a price that was to lead to murder.
