David Blake is back in Newcastle. Life is sweet until his bent accountant is arrested for murder. The money man is nailed on for a life sentence until he puts five million pounds out of Blake's reach. Now Blake faces an agonising choice; fix the acquittal of a child killer or run out of the cash he needs to bankroll his empire. Meanwhile, Serbian gangsters are slowly taking over his territory, a Russian Oligarch wants to use Blake's drug supply line for his own ends and the Police are closing in, determined to take David Blake off the streets forever.
