A fast-moving new thriller of betrayal and revenge and murder in the bestselling tradition of Chris Ryan and Andy McNab. Haunted by the brutal killing of his UN interpreter wife in Bosnia, ex-SAS man Ed Coltrane is consumed with the need to hunt down her murderers. Drinking too much and spending too much on his search, his life is going into meltdown...Until, just in time, a former colleague tells him one of his wife's killers is in London as guest of the British government. This is only the start of a dangerous journey into the dark heart of modern Europe, where he finds himself in deadly conflict with the new mafias and security apparatus of an emerging superstate - and discovers a secret act of national betrayal that is as shocking as it is unexpected.
