Arrow of Truth

The story tells how William Hardy the third generation owner and Chairman of a family manufacturing business, struggles to keep his company going in the face of increased demands from his customers and ruthless competition from his competitors as well as suffering arson attacks, bomb threats and blackmail letters from an unknown assailant. But as he finds business life more and more difficult he realises that unlike his father and grandfather before him, he doesn't have the natural business flair that his forebears did.

Meanwhile the company's bank believing that the business is on the verge of bankruptcy installs a team of specialist business turnaround experts to work with him to try and save the business from collapse and then rebuild it towards its former glories and fortunes. Tensions rise and challenges appear as the turnaround team take over from William leaving him feeling frustrated and sidelined.

But while William is battling with these complex and demanding business issues, he is totally unaware that his wife, obsessed with a secret lover is betraying and cheating on him.
