Description

Millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes lie untouched in an old Victorian cottage, the hidden legacy of Dolly Rawlins and her widows.

Released from prison, Esther Freeman is determined to retrieve the money. And so too is Mike Withey, Shirley Miller's brother and Audrey's son.

When a fire breaks out at the derelict cottage, with a badly charred body inside along with what looks like thousands of burnt bank notes, it attracts the attention of the police and one young detective in particular, Jack Warr.

Jack's investigation into the fire and the burnt body inside coincides with an investigation into his own past.

Adopted at birth, Jack discovers his birth father may have been none other than Harry Rawlins, a renowned criminal.

As he learns the truth about his identity, Jack becomes increasingly aggressive, stopping at nothing — including breaking the law himself.
