Jeffrey Archer

William Warwick and Ross Hogan return, for one last time, in a gripping and unputdownable finale. London Olympics 2012. The world is watching as the greatest show on earth takes to the stage. Billions of eyes on London. Nations united in celebration. It should be a moment of celebration. But for one shadowy organisation, it's the perfect target. William Warwick and his elite Scotland Yard team must stop them from unleashing chaos and devastation. But his investigation plunges him into a deadly game of cat and mouse from London's streets to the corridors of power. Can he prevent triumph turning into disaster?

A világ egyik legfényűzőbb városában több milliárd dolláros üzletet készülnek megkötni. Ám a pazar éjszaka gyilkossággal végződik, a brit kormány pedig kilátástalan válságba sodródik. Több ezer kilométerrel távolabb, az angliai Berkshire vidékén Lord Hartley, a több évszázados múltra visszatekintő arisztokrata család idős tagja haldoklik. Csakhogy a végrendelete robbanásszerű eseménysorozatot indít el. Két haláleset. Két kontinensen. Egymáshoz látszólag semmi közük. Akkor miért állnak mégis egy mesteri bűnöző bosszútervének középpontjában? És képes lesz-e William Warwick, a Scotland Yard felügyelője feltárni az igazságot, mielőtt egy ártatlan ember élete és öröksége odaveszne?
