Description: A man impaled on the South Downs--consigned to a slow, agonizing death.  Another skinned alive.  A skeleton found beneath the West Pier, its feet encased in concrete.  Brighton has been invaded by vengeful men who kill without conscience and threaten the lives of ex-Chief Constable Bob Watts, his comrade-in-arms Jimmy Tingley, DS Sarah Gilchrist and--above all--Brighton's crime king, John Hathaway.  This is no mere power struggle between rival mobsters.  But John Hathaway keeps an explosive secret--and someone who knows it has decided that revenge is a dish best served cold...--Provided by publisher.
