Italian Assets

It was just a routine call at Santa Margherita for Max Farne. A meeting

then came the invitation he couldn''t refuse.

Abducted by and blackmailed into selling his boat by a smooth Italian
gangster, Max is drawn into a wave of crime sweeping Italy, taking him
back to the mountains to protect the beautiful daughter of a wartime friend.
The stakes are high and Max has everything to lose unless his tough
background could help him survive...
