Description
Frank Parker retired senior policeman and Cliff Hardy's long time friend has a problem. A case from early in his career involving two doctors one of whom was convicted of hiring a hit man to kill the other and went to gaol for the crime is coming back to haunt him. The convicted now dead doctor may have been innocent and Parker had been the lover of the beautiful Catherine Castiglione the doctor's wife.
Hardy tracks back through the now ageing names and faces trying to tease out the truth. If the doctor was set up who was responsible and why? Along the way Hardy encounters dodgy plastic surgeons a broken-down ex-copper a voyeuristic cripple and a hireling who wields a mean baseball bat.
A charismatic player is the son of Catherine Castiglione a super-bright charmer who just may be Frank Parker's love child. Animosities arrogance and ambition create a spider's web around the violence that breaks out as Hardy searches for the spider.
