International jewel thief, Paul Hater, knows a secret that everyone
wants to know - and will go to any lengths to uncover. How long can he

the location of the rest of the collection. He remains silent and so
begins his twenty-year prison sentence. Having exhausted all their
leads, the International Detective Agency, acting on behalf of the
insurers, must patiently await Hater's release before they can hope to
find out more. But just as his day of release approaches, Hater is
kidnapped by a ruthless international gang determined to force the
secret from him and prepared to go to any lengths to do so....
