The third Tom Tompkins' novel in the Thornham Serious Crimes Unit series.
For much of this third book in the series, Tompkins is working outside the UK. He sees the opportunity to accompany his partner on a business trip to Arabia as a chance to relax. Soon, however, he's inexorably drawn into a deadly game of international arms dealing, secret intelligence and high-stakes politics. He's also introduced to a young and deadly young woman who will have a great impact on his life for years to come.
