Finally relaxing on a long overdue vacation in Spain, a seasoned detective gets an unwelcome phone call.
A woman's body has been found in a local Spanish orange grove.
What starts out as the death of a young call girl from Dambersky's home town in Central Europe spins into a spider's web of murder, high-end art theft and international intrigue that Dambersky, ironically enough, is unusually well qualified to handle.
The trail will lead him back to the exclusive spa towns of the Czech Republic, to Berlin in Germany and even to Scotland.
Will he and his colleague Dvorska be able to find the link between a dead call girl, an international art theft ring and high-octane political espionage?
Their skills are going to be tested to the limit on this case.
