'Sadistic Hamish McMurtrie ‘Hacka’ Blanchard hatches a brutal but brilliant plan, the cold-hearted brutality of which shocks even the hardest-nosed policemen. With the aid of three former cellmates, he contrives to kidnap two federal politicians and demand a $5 million ransom from the government. Nothing could go wrong.
'But Senior Sergeant Ken McLoughlin and his partner Tony Delarosa have other plans. In a dangerous race against time, they sweep through the sun-drenched Great Barrier Reef, the Kimberleys, the slums of Poland, and the cattle stations of the outback in an almost impossible task to stop Blanchard’s trail of unimaginable violence.'
