Depths of corruption at the height of the premier league.
A baby girl is kidnapped and a large ransom is demanded for her return. Her father refuses to contact the police, but attempts to handle the situation himself.
Dave Cunane, head of Pimpernel Investigations, is surprised when he's approached by an international football player to track down the girl's kidnappers. He soon realises that his new employers are involved in some highly illegal activities in the premiership.
As he digs deeper it emerges that some of Manchester's more successful criminals are being blackmailed. More extortion and more murders are taking place. And while there is a certain satisfaction in criminals getting their comeuppance, Cunane knows deep in his heart he has to stop the violence.
