Still, when Scotland Yard asks for his assistance, he's not sure how to proceed. London is one of the largest cities in the world, and one that's completely unfamiliar to Lucas. But the world of crime is one he's all too familiar with, and one that he can never fully leave behind.

But this case is different: One of the principals is already serving time in one of the harshest and most unforgiving prisons known to man — Australia. The other is an innocent whose only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time a decade earlier. Their intertwined fates cross social boundaries that Lucas never knew existed... until now.

With the kind of writing that leaves readers yearning for the next weekly installment, it's no wonder The London Times calls this "A work of fiction that shall appeal both to the lowest of our classes and also to gentlemen of more noble blood."
