A man flees for his life...

DI Simon Chaucer is on the run. Sought by a gang of ruthless criminals, and accompanied by an abandoned dog, the policeman flees London, seeking a refuge until it is safe for him to return home.

But when danger strikes, will Chaucer be able to protect the young woman across the hall from him, or the old soldier who lives downstairs?

Or will his presence bring even more pain...

A dark and gritty novel with a touch of romance.
