Pagan who moves in his own mysterious ways who flaunts the rule-book and follows his own instincts is plunged into a darkening puzzle more sinister than a
bomb in an underground tunnel. He finds himself pitted against two old adversaries: the deranged terrorist Carlotta a woman whose appetite for blood is matched only by Pagans hunger for justice - and the ghost of Jig his most famous antagonist whose death has given birth to new demons.
