Matt Flynn is an agent with the recently formed, Homeland Security Agency. In the hunt for a Serbian sniper, the trail leads to a hot-air balloon accident in Oxford, a crash killing three members of the Anderson family.

Chris, the only family member not to go on the flight is involved in a shadowy internet hacking group. He previously hacked into the systems of a US helicopter manufacturer and discovered some of their dirty secrets. At the time he didn't realise how dirty and now the company will stop at nothing to recover their stolen files.

Matt is caught up in a breathless race, trying to stop Chris and a journalist caught in the melee from being killed. When their pursuers kidnap Matt's partner, he decides it's time to take the fight to the enemy.

Would you write a book, if you knew it would kill you?

Stuart Livermore, a successful Brighton author, is found brutally murdered. Was this the revenge of a vicious enemy, or a burglary gone wrong? Problem is, the victim had no enemies and if this was a robbery, why was the lounge the only room targeted?

Items from a bookcase scattered across the lounge floor, indicate to DI Angus Henderson of Sussex Police, the killer was looking for something. If so, what? Did he find it?

Henderson’s new boss, CI Sean Houghton, is keen for a quick result, but he's becoming frustrated with the slow progress of the investigation. In the end, he snaps and hands Henderson an ultimatum - find the killer or be replaced by someone who will.

In a tense race against time, Henderson has less than a week to save his job and reputation - and track down a killer he believes will strike again.
