What to expect
OBSESSIONS CAN TURN DEADLY.
Eric Ward has a new client: Dieter Barschell. He’s an ex-professional footballer charged with dealing drugs at a Newcastle racecourse.

While defending Barschell, Eric antagonizes one of the prosecution witnesses, DCI Charlie Spate.
Can the two men work together to try to resolve this mess?
This time Eric’s client has connections that stretch far beyond Tyneside.
He soon finds himself having to protect a German journalist, Hannah Witt, who believes the case is connected to her homeland.
