Description

Vince Maguire has spent a decade as a writer at a paper in Warsaw, but his easy life ends when the dark world of his estranged brother intrudes. Teddy's in trouble, but is he victim or villain? He has fallen in with criminals trying to kill oil executives in Warsaw. Now Vince is framed for an attempted hit. How did Teddy get to a point where his "friends" kill without hesitation? The answer appears to lie in the oilfields of Alberta, a new Wild West where normal rules of behaviour don’t apply. Whatever he's doing, it's important enough for two heavies to be tracking Vince's every step. All questions lead to answers, but are they answers that the brothers can live with?
