Climate change and geopolitical tension have given rise to a new international threat - a world war over water. This vital resource has become a precious commodity, and some will stop at nothing to control its flow. When a satellite disappears over Iceland, Sim Atkins thinks he knows why. He is given the chance to join the Overseas Division and hunt for the terrorists responsible. But his new partner, Freda Brightwell, is aggrieved to be stuck with a rookie on such a deadly mission. Freda's misgivings are well-founded when their first assignment ends in disaster. Seeking redemption, the British agents follow the trail to a billionaires' tax haven in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and uncover a web of deceit that threatens global war. But who can they trust? As the world edges ever closer to destruction, Sim and Freda must put their lives on the line to prevent Armageddon...

David Barker's gripping debut will thrill fans of Richard North Patterson, Scott Mariani and Steve Berry.
