Nigel Torrens was such a civilized, mild-mannered man ... all those who knew him would describe him as an upright, respected member of the community. That much was true.

His survival would depend on his ingenuity and a shrewd resourcefulness that even Nigel didn't know he possessed. Some might say it was sheer audacity ... others might say it was just pure luck. Whatever the explanation, nobody could ever have guessed the outcome ... or just how it would come about.
