Alex Hargreaves, a security consultant, is a hero during an Islamic terrorist attack on a South East Asian, luxury, island resort, but is desperate to avoid the fame that follows, and back in Sydney, Australia, does all he can to hide from the media. In Belfast, a former IRA officer still seethes with hatred for a man who, at Christmas 1990, drove a UDA death squad into Catholic Belfast—and would dearly love to find his hiding place. A suspenseful story weaves between events in 1990 and the present to reveal why Alex must fight to avoid a nemesis that could rise from his dark past and destroy him and his family.
