The pupil is the son and heir of Harry Peters, drug king, brothel owner and number one local gangster, who doesn't appreciate Tom's actions and views his actions as an affront to his status and a threat to his empire. All Tom wants is a quiet life, its not to be. This is first book in the new Tom Adams Crime Series.
