An International Crime Thriller (Ratso Book 2) DEAD FIX A famous sportsman. A deadly threat. A shocking outcome." Detective Ratso is still reeling from his last success but now his next case will require him to put his life on the line. A gang with the muscle that only money and fear can buy is fixing international sports. Billions are being staked. Investigating this is a labour of love for the London detective but when an international sporting god is murdered, Ratso understands the message: defy the fixers at your peril! The trail points Ratso towards Dubai and India where illegal bookies operate a global black-market. But what is the American involvement? When Ratso uncovers the unthinkable - a plot to fix one of the world's biggest sporting events - the dangers stack even higher. Something doesn't add up, testing Ratso's confidence as much as his instincts. Once again supported by his police colleagues, the investigation twists and turns until fresh evidence points to the USA. Here, his long-distance lover, Detective Kirsty-Ann Webber of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, yet again proves her invaluable intellect. In a race against time, Ratso realises that only he can prevent a global sporting crisis.
