Refusal

Resume du livre

Six years ago, investigator Sid Halley retired
for good. He’d been harassed, beaten, shot, even lost a hand to his
investigating business, and enough was enough. For the sake of his wife
and new daughter he gave up that life of danger and uncertainty, and he
thought nothing would ever lure him back into the game.<br>He
thought wrong. Sir Richard Stewart, chairman of the racing authority,
begs Sid to investigate a series of dodgy races. Sid adamantly refuses,
but the following day, Sir Richard is found dead under suspicious
circumstances. And then a man with an Irish accent contacts Sid, telling
him to deliver a whitewashed report about the suspected race-fixing . .
. or else.<br>At first Sid ignores these warnings, knowing that
once he submits to this criminal bully, he will forever be under his
control. But as the intimidation tactics escalate—and Sid’s own family
comes under threat—Sid realizes he must meet his enemy head-on . . . or
he might pay the ultimate price for his refusal.
