Martin Cormac is a man with a secret.
He killed 18 people. And when he did it, he just drove away, telling himself it wasn't his fault. But even Cormac, self-made city-style trader, can't live with that sort of pressure, and eventually his erratic behaviour loses him his job, his girlfriend, and his sense of self.
To sort his life out he takes off to Thailand, where he frequents the beaches and the bars. Its here that he meets Janac, and his life suddenly gets a whole lot worse.
Janac is an American with a taste for mind games, especially the Prisoners Dilemma. Through these psychological tricks he manages to coerce Martin into carrying a consignment of cocaine to Sydney. Martin struggles with his own moral values, delivers the cocaine but also tips off an Australian detective.
Unfortunately for Martin, the policeman is one of Janac's men. Martin has failed the test, and now Janac wants to hunt him down and kill him.
This tense psychological thriller moves forward at great speed, and readers are left guessing the outcome right to the last page.
