Former SAS soldier Greg gets a call from his past.Isle of Wight police want to talk to him about a human skeleton found during extensions to Seastone marina. After Greg contacts them they lose interest, but retired DCI Ray Tindall is convinced there's a connection with 'The Vanderling Associates', a criminal gang he pursued unsuccessfully throughout his career.Despite the risk of exposing another skeleton - the one in his own cupboard - Greg allows himself to be dragged into the ex-DCI's investigation, and finds all his old skills returning as he uncovers evidence of illegal immigration, drug smuggling, money-laundering and murder, before a long overdue final reckoning with his old enemy, Sir Robert Clarmont Brown.
