________
Paul Shanahan - part-time surveyor, notorious arms dealer and sometime suspected CIA agent - is a full-time scoundrel. But he's the perfect man if you need an illicit operation done - and done well.
So when five million dollars' worth of gold smuggled out of the Middle-East needs to get from Morocco to Miami by boat with no questions asked, his is the name on everyone's lips.
Except this time, Paul has other, more personal plans for the money - a chance to get back home. But with every major power in the world - not to mention more than one terrorist organisation - also on the hunt for gold, Paul will have to be at his absolute best.
Or he won't make it home alive . . .
