2003. Ex SAS officer Chet Freeman works for the Grosvenor Group, whose interests include arms manufacture, and what he overhears in a meeting seems to imply that it is bribing the Prime Minister to take his country into an illegal war. Somebody believes that this is a secret that needs covering up, because Chet and the girl are attacked. Nearly ten years later the now ex-Prime Minister is working as a Middle East peace envoy. Chet's friend, Luke, is tasked by the SAS with extracting him from Jerusalem, where he discovers a conspiracy far more devastating than any arms deal.

Former SAS corporal and the only man to escape death or capture during the Bravo Two Zero operation in the 1991 Gulf War, Chris Ryan turned to writing thrillers to tell the stories the Official Secrets Act stops him putting in his non-fiction. His novels have gone on to inspire the Sky One series Strike Back. Born near Newcastle in 1961, Chris Ryan joined the SAS in 1984. During his ten years there he was involved in overt and covert operations and was also sniper team commander of the anti-terrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris Ryan was the only member of an eight-man unit to escape from Iraq, where three colleagues were killed and four captured. It was the longest escape and evasion in the history of the SAS. For this he was awarded the Military Medal. He wrote about his experiences in the bestseller The One That Got Away, which was adapted for screen, and since then has written three other works of non-fiction, over twenty bestselling novels and a series of children's books.
