Holidays on a river cruiser are thought to be peaceful and stress
free - this one wasn't. Elaine Forest, a police inspector from the
UK, expected nothing more than a watching brief as she cruised on
the River Danube. However, when you mix an assortment of
characters, including an old hand of stage and screen, a snooty
rival, two yokels, two amazing old ladies, a retired journalist,
and girls out to have fun then blend them with a vain Italian
member of staff, a Russian prince and a large dose of criminality,
the results are anything but predictable. The intervention of
foreign police and the UK 'Border Force' together with smuggling,
subterfuge, murder, farce, audacity and romance, all help to
produce a series of surprising deceptions.
An old shopping arcade transformed into a trendy retail and
business venue. No-one would dream that such an innocuous setting
could hide a plethora of personal dramas, nor would anyone have
suspected the mysteries that would be present inside its walls.
What did it all have to do with events in history that were long
past but not forgotten?
The year is 1998. Sir George Arlington, a despicable and ruthless
businessman, who has spent most of his life plotting and scheming
against others, is now the target for retribution. He has no idea
of the web of intrigue growing around him. An Italian Contessa, a
retired Captain of the Royal Navy, gangsters from the East End of
London and those with dark secrets, brought together with four
young friends from very different backgrounds, who each have their
own agenda, find themselves cruising with Sir George, on a luxury
yacht in the Mediterranean. Plots and schemes abound, a death
occurs and more confusion is added by a pompous Spanish police
officer who resents the inevitable intervention of the British
authorities. When the plots unravel, who are the winners and who
are the losers?
