The forty-second book in the Cliff Hardy series

Will one man´s loss be Hardy´s gain?

´I´d read about it in the papers, heard the radio reports and seen the TV coverage and then forgotten about it, the way you do with news stories.´

The police suspect the father, Gerard Fonteyn OA, a wealthy businessman. But he´s hired Cliff to find his daughter, given him unlimited expenses and posted a $250,000 reward for information.

Finally there´s a break - an unconfirmed sighting of Juliana Fonteyn, alive and well. But as usual, nothing is straightforward. Various other players are in the game - and Cliff doesn´t know the rules, or even what the game might be. He´s determined to find out, and as the bodies mount up the danger to himself and to Juliana increases.
