Rafael de Bourbon, recently married, is days away from opening a luxury boutique hotel off the southern coast of Thailand. When the Royal Thai Police storm the hotel and arrest him for blackmail and extortion, Rafa is thrown into Bangkok's most notorious jail. In desperation, he reaches out to the one man who can prove his innocence: Simon Riske. Once Riske and De Bourbon were the closest of friends, and he rushes to Bangkok to secure his friend's release. Now, caught up in a web of intrigue, it is Riske who finds himself the wanted man, pursued by an international conspiracy that threatens to wreak carnage across the glittering capitals of Europe. -- adapted from jacket
