So begins the strangest of love affairs - Alex torn between delirium and despair at what he is committed to. But the reappearance of Joely complicates matters. Despite paranoia kicking in with all his connections to scheming women and jealous husbands, Alex starts to stalk the victim and formulate a plan. All the demons of Alex's past life reappear as he struggles first to consider the offer, while maintaining a normal façade, and then after a reality-check trip home, he decides he has to accept the contract. Immediately after pushing away Joely there comes an anonymous offer to commit a stranger on stranger murder. Inexplicably, he rejects her advances, convinced something that perfect must really be false and selfish. It is during this stressful time that Alex meets his "once in a lifetime" girl, the beautiful and fascinating Joely. With Carla he genuinely tries to behave like a gentleman, until a violent episode throws them together. Set during a couple of hot summer months, Alex keeps himself fit and plays cricket for the local team. The handsome 28-year-old enjoys the raunchy attentions of bored wealthy women, as well as the affections of young Carla, back from university. Former Manchester gang member, Alex Robateau, is now living the good life as groundsman at an exclusive Surrey sports club.
