Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up in the East End of London, Nick Price aspired to a criminal lifestyle. But at just nineteen years of age, a price was put on his head and he fled to Bangkok.Four years later, Nick returned to England, set up a thriving property development business and cultivated a bad-boy-turned-good image. He brought back two kids from Thailand, but no wife. Whilst he happily let the press speculate on the origins of his wealth, no one dared ask what happened to his wife.But when Nick became embroiled in a cash-for-honours scandal, and a prime minister's judgement was brought into question, Nick's luck ran out. His liberty depended upon the authorities accepting the origins of his wealth to be unsullied. DCI Jack Magee's career goal has been to nail Nick Price, but in a twist of fate he is called upon to prove him innocent. And the way to do that is to cajole him to reveal the darker side of his youth, to establish what his connections are to the legendary drug lord, Khun Sa, and to establish the truth behind the tale of the Fourth Cart treasures.
