Running Flush

by Jack Lench

As a successful hotel owner and family man, Robin Ashurst should be content with life. But he is not. Gambling gives him the thrills that his life lacks. One night, something extraordinary happens and he wins a game of poker with a Running Flush. His prize is a hotel on the beautiful Italian island of Tremiti. The idea of renovating and owning a boutique hotel on an Adriatic island is a tempting and exciting challenge that he cannot resist. Full of enthusiasm and ideas, he and his wife fly into Pescara airport and arrange to hire a car to drive to the port of Termoli, then catch the ferry. Nothing can prepare him for the perilous escapade which lies ahead. For Robin and his family, another dark adventure begins as the island is the headquarters of a sinister underworld criminal organization dealing in money laundering and trafficking of human body parts. Not knowing who to trust, Robin faces violence, corruption and intense fear as he seeks to expose the ruthless and murderous gang leaders!
