Harry Fingle's brother is killed in suspicious circumstances. Harry, an acclaimed investigative journalist, is fired, for no reason. He vows to discover the truth. Two people are murdered, a pharmaceutical factory is bombed, and Harry's loyal girlfriend is stabbed. MI6 and the CIA pull him in to safeguard his life. They tell him he's been the ball, while they've been the players.

Nick Wastnage's twitter profile reads: 'A crime writer and an optimist.' Playing Harry is his seventh novel. He's been a record salesman, a decorator, and a marine. He was once shot by terrorists, and winched a helicopter from the jungle to safety. He lives with his wife in Bucks.
