Henry was a wealthy barrister who seemed to have it all. When the beautiful young woman, the object of his obsession, agreed to marry him his happiness seemed complete. Through his wealth he was able to spoil her completely. She could do no wrong and he loved her with an obsessive intensity. 

But Jayne had a secret. She had targeted and tricked him into the marriage purely to get the luxurious lifestyle she craved. The only love on her part was for his riches. She tolerated Henry but for her sexual needs she would look elsewhere. But one of her lovers, Jonathan Bond, became more than just a casual fling. He was wealthy, good looking and the owner of a successful night club, and when she fell for him her careful plans began to unravel. 

Having accidentally discovered the affair, Henry used eavesdropping devices to uncover what he thought were their future plans. Plans that his love for her would not let him tolerate. It was then that Henry decided to take a course of action that would have fatal consequences for them all. As a result he would be hounded by a meticulous and thorough detective who was equally obsessed with bringing Henry to justice. 

Fleeing justice Henry escaped to Marbella where he took on a new identity, forgot Jayne and started a new life. But to his horror the demons that had plagued him in England would now follow him even to this new paradise.
