Out of the darkness and through the rat-infested sewers of Florence; under the ancient treasure houses of the Palazzo Pitti and into one of the strongest bank vaults on the world; the best cracksmen in the business are on the take.

They have done the research, analysed the problems and now they are ready to make the biggest score of the century. But hidden inside the vault is something history has forgotten, a myth, a legend; only this is no fairy tale, this is for real- a dream come true. All they have to do now is get away clean. The score is every safe-crackers dream, the big "A" number 1, the last job before retiring into luxurious obscurity- only this dream is about to become a full blown nightmare of insatiable greed.

A woman with beauty and style but the cold heart of a man and a professor consumed by lust,  set out for revenge and wealth beyond their wildest dreams, and the clock is ticking. Italian detectives; the Mafia; former SS officers; a Foreign Office emissary and the Catholic Church all collide in a twisting tale of murder and deceit during a high speed pursuit across Europe- which culminates in a bloody and startling crescendo.

A novel - for someone who likes a puzzle and a fast and furious adult detective thriller. A reader who is not afraid to have their nerves exposed raw - someone who likes the thrill of the ride. An edgy book with real attitude.
