Book Description:
Fast approaching the event horizon of a catastrophic debt, Freddie Lyons has his former clients – Russian money launderers; his ex-wife; and a trail of other creditors on his tail. He needs to keep one step ahead of the pursuing mob, until he and Birkett Coward, the racehorse trainer and his former boss, can pull of the bet of a lifetime. When that fails, out of time, and out of money, only by pulling off an audacious gamble, might they save their respective fortunes, and perhaps even their lives. But as the world closes in on Freddie, even he begins to think that it’s beyond them. And it is. The final throw of the dice fails.
Unless somehow, it was planned that way all along?
