In one of the most luxurious cities on earth...

A billion-dollar deal is about to go badly wrong. A lavish night out is about to end in murder. And the British government is about to be plunged into crisis.

In the heart of the British establishment...

Lord Hartley, the latest in a line of peers going back over two hundred years, lies dying. But his will triggers an inheritance with explosive consequences.

So why are they both at the centre of a master criminal's plot for revenge?

And can Scotland Yard's William Warwick uncover the truth before it's too late...

The ultimate race-against-time is about to begin.

Jump into the ultimate race against time in this gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author
