Lydia wants to leave Mr G, but she doesn't have a safe exit strategy and Mr G isn't the sort of man a girl says no to. Mr G wants it all. His brothels make him plenty of money, but that's not enough. His property empire, held together with blackmail and extortion, is under threat, and he will do whatever it takes to keep it. Sam will need all his skills as an investigator, diplomat, and gambler if he's to satisfy a violent egomaniac, especially one who's out for blood. Can he save the life of someone who's just made a stupid mistake without risking his own? Or will he end up buried Above High Tide?
