Private investigator Erwin James is rapidly becoming jaded with the job of hunting down errant husbands and cheating wives. Then suddenly he discovers that Viali Walker, the beautiful daughter of a prominent black MP, has been murdered, and all this changes - his interest in justice is rekindled. Though research into the mainstream press suggests that the MP's story has been ignored, the black papers tell him that the main suspects are members of a right wing party, The Foundation. No one has been arrested and furthermore, Walker stresses that he has been the victim of their attacks for years. The case is not cut and dry however. There are quite a few skeletons in the charismatic Viali's closet and many suspects arise for her murder - the university lecturer Viali was having an affair with, or perhaps her lover Jason, a Nation of Islam member. Accompanied by his old friend, the sassy Carmen Sinclair, and constantly shadowed by the menace of The Foundation, James's search for the truth takes him to London's dark underworld and the steamy Soho strip clubs Viali danced in, before reaching a gripping climax at the heart of The Foundation's organisation.
