The trilogy that began with Chains of Deceit and continued in Code of Submission concludes in this powerfully erotic novel. The evil Adrian Delancey has finally outwitted journalist Nathan Dexter in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse, destroying the secretive Elective organisation - and Nathan's relationship with student Scott - into the bargain. Nathan is now all alone, and is forced to use all his contacts and all his resources to mount a final assault on Delancey, to stop him and his perverted Syndicate once and for all. From the dungeons and saunas of London to the deepest jungles of South America, Nathan Dexter is forced to play the ultimate chess game, with people as sexual pawns. If he loses, he will pay the ultimate price with his dearest's blood. But if he wins, the cost will be even dearer: his soul.
