JC has just about done everything in the name of adventure: Getting pulled over by the cops - and asked to leave town -several times! Cornering unhappy bulls in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia, recruited as a roughneck with no offshore experience, hired as a general dog's body on his first drilling rig off the Indian Ocean catching light-lovin' turtles, drilling RC Way in the Great Sandy Desert where the flies are so thick personnel are asked not to take a dump before meal times, for fear the flies will next land on your food, drinking bouts with rig pigs while Cyclone evaluations clock up time over Darwin and even encounters with giant Singapore rats. From screw-ups because of piss ups to punch-ups because of pub brawls, JC is proud to confirm that despite massive containers sliding around the deck of a platform at night, and a container hanging off the sides of a rig, never a day was lost drilling... "Massive experience on jack ups and semis, the only thing JC has left to do is man a drillship!"

The following day, another woman is found dead in her own home, her decapitated body carefully posed in her living room, her wrists pierced by crucifixes. Why were these women targeted? Paterson and Clocks have never had to deal with a killer like this. A killer who shows no mercy. A killer who can't be reasoned with. A killer who covers their tracks with super-human efficiency. If they are to get their man, the two detectives must break every rule in the book. At the same time, married life is not turning out as Clocks had hoped, and his newly-discovered son has just given him some very bad news . . .

JC didn't know why this was, but he knew he had to save himself - and soon, because time was running out. Armed only with courage and with the skills taught to him by his father, JC was catapulted into the middle of the most dangerous deep-sea drilling platforms ever...and he was headed straight for a desperate encounter on the Russian Nogliki station many know as the Death Star!
