Part 1, Chapters 11-20 Summary

Martin secures a deal with a Ukrainian arms dealer while preparing for a garden party at his house. Ironically, several areas of his garden must remain off-limits due to the dead bodies and grenades hidden there.

At Ibrahim’s hospital bedside, Elizabeth tells her friends that she has agreed to protect Douglas from potential threats in exchange for information on Ryan. Concerned about Ibrahim, Ron insists on staying overnight. Meanwhile, Chris and Donna question Ryan at the police station. The teenager refuses to answer their questions, and they release him without charge. Ryan goes home feeling “invincible.” A small-time criminal, he makes most of his money selling stolen goods or delivering drugs. He believes he is too clever to be caught.

Ibrahim finally persuades Ron to return to Coopers Chase. Alone at the hospital, Ibrahim has flashbacks of his attack. He longs to return to the safety of Coopers Chase. Thinking about his friends’ determination to punish Ryan, he is conflicted. Theoretically, he disapproves of revenge, and he recalls that an act of petty vengeance ruined the life of one of his clients. Taking revenge on someone who sold him a faulty car, Ibrahim’s client drove his BMW through a car dealership window.
