It begins with a phone call.Gordon Reeve's brother has been found dead in his car in San Diego-the car was locked from the inside,a gun in his hand.In the US to identify the body Gordon comes to realise that his brother has in fact been murdered.What's more,it is soon obvious that his own life is in danger.Once back in Scotland he finds out that there have been more visitors than usual to his house and his home has been bugged by professionals.But Reeve is a professional too.Ex-SAS,he was half of a two-man unit with someone he came to fear,then to hate.It looks like his Nemesis is back.

Gordon Reeve has got a funeral to go to.His journalist brother has been_ found dead in a car,a presumed suicide.Not a nice reason to be flying the Atlantic.

And when he gets there it seems that nobody wants to answer his questions why was the car in which his brother's body was found locked from the outside?Why does the local cop act like his shadow and prevent him talking to the friend who saw Jim last?Why does he have the sinking feeling that it wasn't a ghost he saw parked outside the crematorium?
