Schnell gerät er in einen Sumpf aus undurchsichtigen Geschäftsverbindungen, windigen Briefkastenfirmen und gerissenen Rechtsverdrehern. Als dann auch noch ein mysteriöser Unfall geschieht und Cantrip nur knapp einem Anschlag auf sein Leben entgehen kann, wird es höchster Zeit für Hilary Tamar, sich in der Angelegenheit anzunehmen...
