Product Description
Thirty years after it disappeared, Peter McCellan, a provincial family lawyer, has four days to find a missing French masterpiece, The First Journey of Christ - stolen for the second time in its chequered history in a notorious gangland robbery of 1966. Peter and his family are dragged into the world of Eddie Doyle, hardened ex-con with blood on his hands and revenge in his cold heart. In a fast paced thriller that reignites the seedy glamour of gangland London in the not so swinging 60s, betrayal is the key. But who is betraying whom? What dark secrets lie in Peter's father's past? And what part did his father play in an unfolding drama of kidnap, extortion, violence and murder? What betrayal keeps gangland thug Murphy and his sibling stooges on a crash course with vengeance? And Doyle himself? As the betrayals and counter betrayals stack up around him, he has one burning obsession, an obsession that he has lived with for the best part of thirty years as he lay rotting at Her Majesty's pleasure. And all because of a painting. A painting to steal for. A painting to kill for. A painting to die for
