Synopsis
Dave Cunane steps in when he sees a thug knocking beautiful Marti King around – but his actions are misinterpreted not only by her heavy-duty relatives but also by his own nearest and dearest. When their paths cross again Dave learns that Marti’s father, Vince, is doing life for a double murder, and she’s looking for someone to prove his innocence. But when Dave makes tentative inquiries, the bodies begin to pile up. Neither he nor the Manchester police can make sense of the killings, only Dave’s become a little too close to them to be free from suspicion. He just can’t shake off the attentions of Marti or Manchester’s powerful Carlyle family. Temperatures are about to hit boiling point.
