‘Because there is a man separating from the shadows at the subway. Coming towards them. Not hurrying. Seemingly minding his own business.’

The Rabbit Hole by Mike Nicol is now available from Penguin Random House.

Fish Pescado and Vicki Kahn are back!

Money. Money. Money. Tons of it. In US dollars. And it’s all being funnelled into a government tender snagged by family-owned Amalfi Civils. Which would be great for business if CEO Angela wasn’t fighting with her CFO brother Rej. Where Angela sees corruption, Rej sees cabinet ministers, politicians, officials eager to lend a hand. For a fee. It’s a big pot so he’s happy to oblige. And if needs be he’ll take out his sister to keep the lucre.

There are other players in this game. The CIA for one. The State Security Agency for another. And a black op using lawyer and spy Vicki Kahn as a honeytrap to ensnare Rej’s middleman – the very same middleman that her lover, PI Fish Pescado, is investigating.

With these stakes, it’s only time before the killing starts.
