Risks and Rewards

An Englishman dies in a car bomb explosion in Holland. A professional

assassination with no chance that the killers will be caught. The Dutch

investigators cannot fi nd a motive for the killing of Simon Craig and pass the

files to the British police.
Newly promoted Chief Inspector Randall is given the task of investigating

Simon Craigs background, family, and friends. He quickly discovers that

Craig was a conceited and ruthless womanizer living a multidimensional life

and making himself very rich at the expense of his employers.


Randall deduces that Craig was also blackmailing his bosses. The evidence

Craig was threatening them with showed the workings of The Cluban

illegal cartel. Craig had sent the proof to his solicitor in Penzance for

safekeeping. When Randall visited Susan Robson, she claimed it had

been destroyed in a fire.


Randall suspends the investigation just as Robson and a friend decide to

publish Craigs documents and expose widespread corruption in business and

an EU department responsible for competition law compliance.

Two more people die before Robson and her friend can be stopped. No one

in authority wants the story to break.
