Synopsis

"An Ace Up My Sleeve" is a story of blackmail. It is a story of three people, all out for one thing: all determined to do anything to get it. It is a story of bluff and counter-bluff- a game which develops into a deadly battle of violence and extortion. From the moment Helga Rolfe, the elegant wife of one of the richest of tycoons, picks up a gum-chewing boy, young enough to be her son, events jump, bank and skid through a series of 180 degree turns and hair-raising gambits, racing to a climax of shattering impact for both winners and losers. .
