If the Salamander Corporation fails in their devious strategy to fight off a hostile takeover bid, the company could face charges of illegality. It is solicitor Eric Ward's task to point out that uncomfortable fact - and incur the corporation founder's enmity. Back home in Newcastle, Eric agrees to defend his wife's colleague, accused of murdering his fiancée in a London flat - and he uncovers some disturbing facts about the dead woman's background and associates. When the 'Salamander Chill' suddenly begins to fail and he's recalled to London urgently, Eric finds his roles intertwining - with unexpectedly horrifying results.
