Amos Walker's problem begins with a simple proposition from a former Hollywood beach bunny concerning a quarter of a million dollars. From there it moves into a bittersweet reunion with his past: his ex-wife suddenly turns up to trap him in an embrace of danger.
Events move swiftly from money to murder, as Walker struggles in an ever-tightening tangle of sweet lies and fatal truths. It's a case of love and treason . . . of spies and cyanide . . . of kill, be killed, or run like hell. It's a game played on the landscape of the past and present . . . a game someone is playing like there's no tomorrow - for Walker.
