Thriller

After the British military lose an officer to Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan, a race begins to find and destroy a computer chip. Little do the thieves know that the sophisticated chip could bring down the entire network of Western intelligence in the Mid-East. But the Al Qaeda fighter hiding it is captured by US troops and flown to the States for interrogation. And so begins a nail-biting, claustrophobic and explosive thriller that will ultimately lead British operative John Stratton to the Styx penitentiary, America's undersea prison. How do you break in to a jail a hundred metres below the ocean? Can Stratton get the chip back without the US discovering him? Is everyone in the prison really who they seem to be? With its labyrinthine narrative and authentic detail, its CIA plots and White House agents, this fourth thriller in the Stratton series will catapult Duncan Falconer right back into the top tier.
