Scotland Yard detective Todd “Ratso” Holtom is as tough as they come. In HARD PLACE, he must destroy Boris Zandro’s drug-running empire. The ruthless kingpin has evaded every attempt to arrest him, despite being linked to a dozen murders. He is ordered to tiptoe through a diplomatic minefield in London and Washington, something that is not in his nature. The plot races through the UK, Spain, the Caribbean and the USA to a nail-biting and thrilling climax.
