DEAD FIX #2 in the Det. Insp.Todd "Ratso" Holtom series

Now, in this gripping and compelling plot, London cop  Ratso is tasked with investigating international sportsmatch-fixing.

Following a vicious attack on seeming innocents, he uncovers that he is up against more than bent players as he enters the shady and murderous world of criminal gangs. Billions are being staked on fixed results using illegal bookies operating in a global black-market.

The trail and a murder point to a mastermind operating from Dubai and India. But are Ratso's instincts failing him? Once again he is supported by his police colleagues, Jock Strang, Tosh Watson and Nancy Petrie.

As the investigation twists and turns, fresh evidence points to the USA. Here, his svelte long-distance lover, Det. Kirsty-Ann Webber of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department yet again proves her worth as the scope and scale of the investigation race to a dramatic climax.
