Aus dem Klappentext

TWO COPS, ONE CITY, NO MERCY

Dennis Milne is a man with a past, and a past that involves murder.

A former cop, he's earned his living killing the bad guys - drug-dealers, corrupt business men - people who, in his opinion, deserve to die. For the past two days, he's been in Manila, waiting for his next target: a young woman who's made herself some poor life-choices, and some even worse enemies.

DI Tina Boyd is a woman on a mission.

Tough, spiky and determined, she's looking for the man she holds responsible for the death of her lover. She knows this man's ruthless. She knows he's dangerous. But he's in Manila, and she's determined to find him - before he finds her.

Two cops with pasts that haunt them - and a present that could see them both dead. They are about to meet.

And when they do, it's payback time ...
