Blain suspects that Rikki may have been the intended target. And he wonders why this vulnerable beauty is being so cagey. When the killer comes after Rikki at a safe location, Blain finally gets the truth: Rikki is the daughter of notorious crime boss Franco Alvanetti.

So, to get to the point, if it's a ripping yarn you're after you should give up now. Just put the damned book down and find something more satisfying, a love story perhaps, or a thriller.

In other words, complete and utter shite. Or, as I prefer to see it, the truth. Because sometimes they're both the same thing, truth and lies. And you can't have one without the other, can you?
