About this book

Dirk De Graaf has concealed a deadly secret for twenty-three years, unknown to anyone. A chance street encounter threatens to reveal it and destroy the empire he built through ruthless cunning. The threat comes from a single elderly man, whom De Graaf believes he can eliminate without difficulty. However, De Graaf has chosen the wrong target. Albert Smith has a history of getting into trouble, and some old habits are difficult to break. What De Graaf perceives as a manageable problem may prove far more complicated than he anticipates.
