When three very different people come together, all out for the same
thing and prepared to go to any lengths to get it, the stakes are likely

develop into a dangerous and deadly battle. As the action hots up, Chase
weaves a fast-moving story of blackmail, intrigue and extortion with a
hair-raising climax.
