This is the story of a secret Nazi plan to invade Ireland during world war two. It is told jumping between the past, and the exploits of a secret agent working for the British, and the present when an American author is researching for his planned book. However the information he is uncovering is dangerous and people are trying to bury it. There follows death, danger and violence and at the heart of it all the mystery of the American authors father

The trap was baited and waiting. Waiting for forty years and MI5's Aubrey to step right into it… And then one of British Intelligence's most formidable figures would be heading for disgrace and British Intelligence would be heading for disaster. But Aubrey still had one or two tricks up his sleeve. And one or two friends determined that things would not go according to plan. Friends, like, Hyde his Australian right-hand man, who were prepared to risk everything on the bloody killing fields of Afghanistan and on the unsafe streets of Prague to seek the secret of Teardrop — the secret buried in the black heart of Moscow Centre.

On its final test flight, a new American airliner crashes mysteriously in the Arizona desert. An accident or something more sinister? Mitchell Gant, an expert on aviation accidents, must risk his life by repeating the test flight in every detail. Is it a coincidence when another plane crashes off the coast of Finland, or as some are beginning to suspect, a conspiracy that involves business, politics, and the global marketplace? Gant survived Vietnam, the Cold War, and the Gulf. Now, he finds himself fighting a different and far more dangerous war.

In the Russian Federation, Novyy Urengoy, Siberia, an American gas company executive is found dead, the apparent victim of a casual robbery or the local mafia. Whatever the truth, Alexei Vorontsyev, chief of detectives, is unlikely to solve the crime, confronted as he is by a town awash with immigrant labour, cheap heroin, organized crime and the uncaring multinationals. In Washington, the chief executive of the gas company and his wife are murdered in their opulent mansion during an interrupted robbery. John Lock, State Department expert on Russia and former CIA agent, vows revenge on the killers of his beloved sister, Beth, and his brother-in-law Billy Grainger. There is no possible connection between the two crimes; they are merely two eruptions of modern lawlessness — or are they? Vorontsyev is inexorably forced to explore a connection between the executive's murder and heroin smuggling. Lock, in his search for the wild justice of revenge, finds himself pursued and challenged at every turn as he moves closer to the heart of darkness and the motives for his sister's death. Both men seek justice, the price of which, for each of them, becomes almost impossible to pay. Craig Thomas's new novel confronts the plague of the modern Russian mafia an its international expansion in an enthralling story of the struggle for justice in an increasingly dangerous and lawless world. Employing all his customary skills of characterisation, narrative and evocation of place he dramatizes a more serious menace to the security of the West than was ever posed by the Soviet Union and its armies — the threat of organized crime in Russia.

SUPERPOWER TREACHERY IS COLD AS ARCTIC HELL… In Russia even the KGB are scared. And in London British Intelligence have uncovered the tip of a very deadly iceberg. Both countries are desperate to find the answers to three vitally important questions: WHERE IS FINLAND STATION? WHAT IS CROUP 1917? AND WHO IS KUTUZOV? As the Soviet leader and the American President head for the impending Helsinki Summit to ratify the Salt 3 Treaty, British Intelligence review the Red Army's open hostility to this crucial agreement in a new and dangerous light. Agents — codenamed Snow Falcon — are hastily despatched to a deserted Lapland village, whilst the balance of world peace hangs on a perilously fragile thread…
