Chance by Dick james - synopsis

Paul de-Freece is a ruthless, arrogant, self-made multi-millionaire who, on a visit to a gentlemans club in Birmingham's City centre, meets and falls in love with a stunningly beautiful high class prostitute, Davina Galliers. A charismatic and devastatingly handsome man, he's been used to women falling at his feet, but has never found true love. Until now. He becomes so obsessed with Davina that he takes his eye off his business empire with catastrophic results. Even an eventual knighthood can't save him.
Charles Buckingham was a high ranking executive in de-Freece's empire but has resigned, breaking away in an attempt to make it on his own, by opening a private nursing home with his wife Sara, a highly qualified nurse.
De-Freece, later Sir Paul, is furious and considers it the ultimate betrayal, so sets out to bankrupt Charles' fledgling business. Charles discovers this, but is it too late?
The laws of chance might have it that either may succeed.
Buckingham's PA, Angie Jones, manages to escape her murderous, psychopathic husband, Griffith, who regularly beats their six year old son, David. Having unearthed his paedophilia involving Davids twin sister Rhiannon, she flees with her family. Griffith is incandescent with rage and determined to find them. But will he? Chance may decree he just might.
Sir Paul's wife, the vivacious Lady Caroline, is oblivious to her husband's infidelity and totally immersed in the running of their business empire especially as she is planning an audacious bid for one of the UK's most prestigious motor manufacturers - Rolls Royce. Convinced of success, she invests their entire fortune.
Set in England and Wales, a life-changing, roller coaster period between February 1996 and December 1997, witnesses vicious drug dealers, violent casino and brothel owners and revengeful business associates all playing their part in this highly charged, fast-paced thriller.
Then the biggest jackpot in Camelot's history is announced, by which time all of them are desperate for money.
Each buy tickets but will one of them scoop a massive win?
They have as much chance as anyone!
