In just two months, ex-Naval officer David Cunningham turned the wreck of an old landing craft, found stranded in a Cornish cove, into a vessel any skipper would be proud of. Then came the request that turned his trading plans upside-down. "Find out what has happened to Monique, please, " the letter pleaded, and the faded image accompanying it seemed to leave him no alternative. The TREVEDRA was bound for post-war Italy with a cargo of spares. But that letter was to take him further - to the doorstep of the Camorra, to pay the bloody ransom for a life.
