Throw in a rookie minder cop who's great with computers but scared of guns, and help from desirable Destiny, whose past is even murkier than Frank's...hell, you just know things will go according to plan. Strong characters, well-paced action, dark humour and cracking dialogue make Double Jeopardy an old- school crime novel with a surprisingly modern twist.
