It"s clear to Nick that his friend had a secret life. Worse, when Nick discovers he"s the benefactor of Herb"s will, he finds he"s also inherited his problems - including being next in the killer"s firing line.
Now Nick"s in the race of his life to figure out what"s going on, or find himself out of the running - for good. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Gamble (Felix Francis)
