Some became sketches, some short stories, some novels. Most are still waiting for their chance to get out of his head! Paul's Lion Fiction titles include: Local Poet, Local Artist, and Local Legend.

Why had Adi, Graham's oldest friend, ignored him, and why had he seen him in the company of an American businessman reputed to be involved with the Mafia? Graham begins asking questions. He visits the Sports Centre Adi founded and quickly learns that the charity is on the verge of closing down. A firm of lawyers is trying to take it over and a name is mentioned - Rocco Lonza - the same business man Graham saw with Adi.

Convinced that something is very wrong, Graham is determined to work out what has happened to his friend and quickly discovers Adi is in well over his head. Will he be able to save his friend's life again?
