When British oil executive Caroline Kent manages to get on the wrong side of the local Mafia boss while on a business trip to the US, she little suspects what it will lead to. For Salvatore Scarlione isn't a man to let bygones be bygones. And the Mafia have acquired a powerful new weapon, one that will enable them to hunt down and kill anyone they choose, anytime, anywhere. Which means it's not only Caroline's life that's at stake. Somehow she and her friends must fight back, saving not only her but the entire globe from the clutches of the sinister Syndicate. Featuring the heroine of Guy Blythman's other novels, "Eye Of The Sun God" and "Piper One, The Argus Memorandum" is a partly counter-factual thriller set at a pivotal moment in world history.
