Outside
of Pakistan, the world's highest concentration of al-Quaeda
lurks in South-East Asia and there, Nick Stone's bosses get wind
of an act of terror that will dwarf even the nightmare of 9/11.
When Stone is despatched to Malaysia by the CIA to assassinate a
biochemist, he expects his mission to be a straightforward part
of the fight against Bin Laden.
But there are complications not least because he is working
alongside an attractive woman whose motives he doesn't fully
understand. Target neutralised, Stone returns to the USA and a
maelstrom of personal problems. Kelly, the fourteen year-old to
whom he is joint guardian, cannot escape the ghosts of her
traumatic past; she has a prescription drug habit that is
spiralling out of control, and Stone knows he is the only one
who can help her. He takes her to recuperate in England, but the
terrible consequences of what happened in Penang are never far
behind. Realising he cannot escape them, Stone unearths a
doomsday threat against the populations of New York, London and
Berlin and finds himself facing an unspeakable trade-off: the
life of someone he loves, against those of millions he doesn't
even know.
