Following decades of feuding, only one will prevail. Their survival now depends entirely on the unwavering loyalty of their trusted retainers. But when the danger becomes personal, where do true loyalties lie. And at what price? Will turning Queen's Evidence save any of them from the justice they thoroughly deserve?

Once again, John Evans, a respected investigative journalist and Phil Smith, a security expert, are unofficially contracted in by Commander Hall of the Metropolitan Police, to gather intelligence and trace the whereabouts of the hostage. They soon discover the dark and treacherous world of determined criminals. To what lengths will these gangs go to protect their own skin?

Follow the twists and turns as Evans and Smith's investigation follow the ever-increasing death toll, free from the constraints of police procedures, yet ensuring all evidence is protected. Well perhaps, not quite all.

Amidst all this chaos, will the hostage survive? And who is really behind the unfolding carnage?
