A long-forgotten threat becomes a deadly new danger
What should have been a routine arrest near Geneva turns into a bloody shoot-out. Four terrorists and four policeman are left dead, with Paul Richter on the run from a murder charge.
Back in the UK, a tramp is viciously murdered on the Isle of Sheppey. Then a surveillance operation in Stuttgart goes badly wrong when a mole tips off the terrorists.
As Richter hunts for the connection between these widely separated events, he discovers a chilling plot: to use the world’s largest ever non-nuclear explosion to devastate the City of London, and leave thousands dead.
Pitted against both a vicious and highly-experienced terrorist, and a ruthless gang of international criminals, Richter must use all his skill and grit to prevent the atrocity. But the true identity of the mastermind will come as a shock to everyone.
