Three friends from a mission many years ago reconnect when one of them dies on Ascension Island. Rory Bannatyne had been tasked with tapping a new transatlantic data cable, but a day before he was due to return home he is found hanged. When Kathryn Taylor begs Kane to go over and investigate, he can’t say no, but it’s an uneasy reintroduction to the intelligence game. Ascension is a curious legacy of England’s imperial past. Only employees and their families are allowed to live there. It’s home to several highly-classified government projects, a British and American military base, and forty dead volcanic cones. Entirely isolated from the world, the disappearance of a young girl at the same time as Rory’s death means local tensions are high. Elliot needs to discover what happened to her as well as to Rory. But the island contains more secrets than even the government knows.

Amber Knight is London’s hottest ticket – pop star, film star the front-page subject of daily tabloid gossip. Nick Belsey is less celebrated. His decade-long career at Hampstead CID seems to be coming to an end, and his habit of getting into serious trouble is ongoing. He is currently of no fixed abode. But when Belsey is asked by a desperate mother to help find her son, he finds himself infiltrating the entourage of Amber Knight. It is a world of excess, obsession, lust and greed – precisely as Belsey had expected, and perhaps even hoped for. Soon, though, the blood begins to flow, one sickening crime is followed by the next, and Belsey finds himself in a far more deadly world, whose mysteries he must solve and whose grip he must escape.

Headhunted from MI6 to join a private intelligence agency that works for global business interests, Elliott Kane finds himself at the heart of a conspiracy in Kazakhstan when one of his local agents disappears without trace, leaving a murdered woman in his wake. The closer Kane looks, the odder things become: the agent’s disappearance connects to the apparent deaths of a group of British hikers who vanished two weeks earlier when they became lost in a snowstorm. As Kane is drawn deeper, he moves from merely infiltrating events to steering them. Kane learned the dark arts at MI6: how to plant stories, manipulate protest movements, set up ratlines for the movement of arms, and establish relationships with the groups ready to use them. But when a papertrail involving vast, offshore funds leads him to a string of villages evacuated close to the Russian border, his firm brings his home.

Amber Knight is hot property – pop star, film star, front-page gossip. DC Nick Belsey is less celebrated. He can’t shake his habit of getting into serious trouble and his career at Hampstead CID is coming to a dishonourable end.

But a knock on the door from a frantic and confused woman looking for her missing son is about to lead Belsey straight into the heart of Amber’s glittering life. When a body is found and a twisted crime spree ensues, Belsey finds himself dangerously embroiled in a world of celebrity, obsession, glamour and desperation.
