When ex-police dog handler Daniel Whelan is asked by his former boss to help a friend who is struggling to run her husband’s haulage company while he is recovering from a vicious attack, he and his dog, Taz, rapidly find themselves attracting the wrong sort of attention.

There is dissent amongst the drivers and Daniel learns that a number of employees have been pressured into leaving; however, they all refuse to talk about it. Daniel’s investigation soon brings him into conflict with the foreman who comes from a notorious local family, and all the evidence points to them being involved in some very nasty business indeed; business they will do anything to protect.

Disgusted by what he discovers, and meeting with a lack of interest in official quarters, Daniel sets out to bring the criminals to justice, but after several violent warnings, he begins to wonder … Has he bitten off more than he can chew?
