Naomi Anstruther's undercover operation among the drug gang - planned so carefully by Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur - has ended in a bloody shoot-out on the Eton Boating Song floating restaurant. Naomi has escaped harm but her ex-boyfriend Donald McWater and her new lover Lyndon Evans are both dead.However, it is not the consequences of this battle that have left Naomi extremely vulnerable.
