It was him; Graham was sure of it. He might not have seen Adi Varney for years, but no one forgets their oldest friend's face.

As a football player and manager, Adi had taken his club from victory to victory before suddenly leaving it all behind. No one understood why.

But now he was back... or was he? If it was Adi, why was he avoiding everyone who knew him?

Convinced something is very wrong Graham is determined to work out what has happened to his friend. The game he uncovers is deadly - but if he doesn't play lives will be on the line.
