John Hannay is a loner. Strong, brilliant, tenacious and damaged - still haunted by the wreckage of his childhood. He is also the grandson of Richard Hannay, the hero of The Thirty-Nine Steps. And the only man who can halt a crime to wreak havoc on the British economy. As the problems and violence scale up, he realises he is being dragged into a calculated attack of revenge upon himself. He must fight government corruption, scandal, fraud, murder and vengeance. And the only way to do all that, is to stay alive.
