Eddie owes a big favour to Maven Judge, the solitary software genius who helped him out in a previous case. He also owes time to healing family wounds with nephew Kim and sister Marie. And Eddie's old friend Mac is suddenly sacked from his job in racing security. He too needs Eddie's help. Eddie sees this as the summer of repayment, but beautiful redhead Nina Raine has plans to kill Eddie's career for good unless he does what she wants.

The time has come for Eddie to find out if dependence on his own courage and sense of justice is enough to keep him, and those he loves safe. Is the bravery and willpower of one man enough to defeat the evil plans of many?
