Description

Discover the explosive new Luke Carlton spy thriller from the Sunday Times bestseller and BBC security correspondent.

'Everything is impressive in this masterly account... Exhilarating' Sunday Times

'Genuinely unnerving and fast-paced... highly recommended' Irish Independent

The world is on high alert.

Across the strait from Taiwan, China's armed forces appear to be readying for war. Could the People's Republic be preparing to invade its island neighbour?

A mole deep within the Chinese Communist Party leadership has some explosive intel that could defuse this geo-political timebomb. But before Britain's Secret Intelligence Service can get hold of the data, the 'collector' sent to recover it is abducted.

As global tensions rise, MI6 operatives Luke Carlton and Jenny Li are dispatched to find the missing agent and the precious information she carries.

With the clock ticking and tip-offs taking them to shady Macau casinos, tawdry night clubs and down multiple dead ends, Luke is convinced they are being deliberately strung along.

Then they get the vital lead they need. It points to Taiwan - a country frantically preparing for imminent invasion. And it's there that Luke and Jenny uncover what is really going on...
Drawing on his years of experience reporting on global security stories and in-depth knowledge of the security services, Frank Gardner has written his most frighteningly real, unnerving and explosive thriller yet.
