One bullet is all it takes to bring a country to its knees.
2002, Sudan. The scorching Sudanese desert heat is the least of Solomon Church's worries. Embedded undercover with a small team of SAS soldiers, he's tasked with protecting an NGO working to deliver vital aid, exfiltrate displaced refugees, and document the atrocities committed by violent insurgents during the region's Second Civil War.
But in a land boiling over with years of unrest and murderous hate, death lurks around every corner. A mysterious sniper known by the locals only as 'The Ghost' is chalking up kill after kill, showing terrifying precision and skill as he picks off journalists, aid workers, politicians, and anyone else working to get the word out and stop the atrocities.
Church knows they have to find him at all costs. But how do you hunt a ghost? And more importantly... how do you stop a ghost from hunting you?
In the present, the UK is in turmoil. Civil unrest and divide threatens to topple the nation.
In the middle of it all, a single gunshot echoes across the city, and the man slated to be the next PM crumples to the ground, dead. The nation holds its breath—this isn't just a murder, it's something worse. A bold, terrifying political move that reeks of conspiracy in the highest levels of government. Intel confirms the chilling reality: the assassination was the first move in a deadly game. Someone with immense power and reach is clearing the field of political opponents to cement a new, autocratic establishment.
With the government compromised and no one on the inside who can be trusted, Ros Kerr, head of SIS, pulls Solomon Church into the middle of it. His mission: protect a young, outspoken politician who is poised to take her mentor's place and galvanise a grassroots movement against the establishment. Church must do all he can to keep her safe until the shooter—a man the press is calling The Ghost—is caught.
But as Church tries to lock her down, he realises she refuses to step out of the firing line. She wants her voice heard, her message spread—and the shooter is listening. Watching. Waiting. And when the time comes, he won't hestiate to pull the trigger.
The only question remaining, is can this be the same man Church faced in Sudan all those years ago... Or have the ghosts of his past finally come back to haunt him?
***
