"Sean Egan and Sarah Talbot are united by tragedy when his sister and her son are both murdered, their corpses used to smuggle heroin by members of Europe’s bloodiest drug ring. Now Egan, an Irish-born British Special Forces operative, and Talbot, a well-connected Wall Street lawyer, will stop at nothing to bring the murderers to justice." Helping them in this endeavor is Brigadier Charles Ferguson of Group Four, the case brought to his attention by a relative of one of the deceased, Tony Villiers.
