Blade is under more pressure than ever. Mary is dying, Jaz is still missing, and the spectre of Becky is haunting him once again. Danger stalks him wherever he goes and, to make matters worse, his greatest enemy from the past is now back in his life.

But all is not lost. Blade has his courage, his will, his sharp intelligence – and he has a hostage, someone who will give him real bargaining power. Blade is not finished yet, not by a long way. His blood is up and he’s ready to mix it.

In this, the sixth title in this ground-breaking series, Blade knows exactly what he wants – and he’ll stop at nothing to get it.
