Charles Boxer, ex-army, ex-police and now a high-stakes kidnap recovery specialist, knows only too well how the dark forces in London can reach out and ensnare an innocent victim. After a boozy night out beautiful Alyshia D'Cruz, daughter of Indian tycoon Francisco 'Frank' D'Cruz, gets into the wrong cab home and Boxer is the only man Frank will trust to go down into the criminal under world to retrieve her. Boxer knows that Frank's crooked business empire has made him plenty of enemies, but despite the vast D'Cruz fortune, the kidnappers don't want his cash. They prefer a crueller, more lethal game and to have any chance of saving Alyshia, Boxer must play it out with religious fanatics, London's home-grown crime lords and Indian mobsters, as his trail crosses paths with a terrorist plot on British soil.
