The British Secret Intelligence Services are hunting for al Quaeda terrorists who plan to destroy London. MI6 reports suggest they have bought radioactive caesium 137 in Turkey and are smuggling it into Britain to make an RDD, a radiological dispersal device, otherwise known as a dirty bomb. This is the ultimate threat - a bomb in a suitcase that can easily be transported into the city and detonated with appalling results. A dirty bomb, says an expert, is a cancer bomb. Thousands of people would be affected. The centre of London would have to be abandoned for decades.
Victoria Maddison heads the MI5 team that is tracking a known bomb-maker, monitoring suspected terrorists and attempting to infiltrate militant groups.
Meanwhile, former gangland hitman Michael Booth is called out of retirement after 10 years, when the daughter of his old boss is kidnapped. Booth goes looking for the girl and the reasons, and doesn't mind who he kills to get answers. He is shocked when he discovers he is facing the Russian Mafia and even more shocked when he is co-opted to help MI5 stop an atrocity that targets the Queen and Parliament.
A high octane thriller that is packed with action
