Pavel Sunic's sister Ana had to do something unthinkable to secure his early release from a hellish Bosnian prison. When she dies in his arms, he vows to avenge her death. His journey takes him to Dublin. John Quigley of QuiK Investigations is miserable, with his partner Sarah Kenny still missing. But he is moved into action when Rose Butler approaches him to look into the killing of her daughter, Alison Cooper, a nurse. As he investigates, John soon finds certain aspects of Cooper's life highly unusual. Why did this hard working mother and wife lie the night she was killed? Why does she have a second and private credit card with a vast credit limit? Did her husband, a man who once belonged to a dangerous gang, know of her liaisons with one Ivan Colbert? But it's a second murder investigation, into the death of one Victor Wright, that completely floors John. Why did his ex-partner Sarah never once mention an ex-husband -- or his disappearance? As John struggles to keep all his balls in the air, the arrival of Pavel Sunic to Dublin set in motion a chain of events that begins to unravel a complicated story. But without Sarah to ground him, John is soon in deeper than ever

Death and violence are all Pavel Sunic has ever known. Only one person matters to him, his sister Ana.
When she pays the ultimate price to secure his release from a Bosnian prison, Pavel Sunic vows to avenge her death. The bloody path he creates leads to Dublin.
Quick Investigations is suffering. With Sarah Kenny still missing, John Quigley struggles to keep the business afloat. When Rose Butler approaches him to investigate the death of her daughter Alison, John takes the case even though the evidence points to suicide.
Yet why did the promising doctor and mother of two choose to die alone in a shabby hotel room? What was her relationship with Ivan Colbert, a disgraced surgeon? And just how dangerous is the dead womans husband?
Torn between his case and his personal life, John is stretched beyond capacity. And the arrival of Pavel Sunic threatens to bring the whole pack of cards crashing down.
