Sinopsis

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish takes on an international conspiracy that preys on the hearts—and fortunes—of wealthy playboys.   As the English representative of the supranational crime-fighting organization, popularly known as the Crime Haters, Patrick Dawlish has his work cut out for him. The murder of a British millionaire’s son in Germany is bad enough, but the victim was helping the Crime Haters uncover a much larger scheme. This wasn’t the first time a rich heir was lured to Germany by an attractive actress—and then set up for blackmail. But it was the first time a father wouldn’t pay up. Now a terrifying warning has been sent: money or your son’s life.   When one of his own agents is killed trying to track down the elusive actress, Dawlish takes matters into his own hands. And Germany is going to get a taste of Britain’s most lethal export—Patrick Dawlish with a score to settle.
