For Charlie Fairweather, song-writer and occasional performer, holidays mean quick affairs, quickly forgotten. But the woman he meets in Sicily is different.
Kate Sullivan is beautiful, sophisticated and deliciously sensuous. Why is she so alone? Why is she so afraid of his friendship? Why does she disappear?
Obsessed by his search for Kate, Charlie finds himself drawn into an unknown and dangerous world where anything can be bought and death is the easiest answer.
