Synopsis
When a British Special Forces soldier goes rogue, carrying out an attack at a US army base in Syria, ex-MI5 controller Charlotte Button is hired to take him down.
Charlotte puts her best man on the case - hitman Lex Harper. It's up to Lex to assemble a crack team and get to the soldier before he carries out what could be a massive terrorist attack in the UK. But Charlotte
might require Lex's help with a more personal problem too...
In MI5, Charlotte held information on thousands of the agency's dirty operations, and kept a store of those secrets in three flash drives hidden in separate safety deposit vaults. Now someone is going to extraordinary lengths to recover the secrets through Hatton Garden- style robberies. So far two vaults have been raided, and two flash drives have gone. If the third is stolen, Charlotte's life will be in jeopardy.
While it's down to Lex to prevent a potential terrorist attack on British soil, Charlotte must work out who is after her and what they want.
