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, on the South Atlantic MI5 desk, begs ex-spy Elliot Kane to go over and investigate, he can't say no, but it's an uneasy reintroduction to the intelligence game. Entirely isolated from the world, the disappearance of a young girl on the island at the same time as Rory's death means local tensions are high.

But the island contains more secrets than even the government knows, and it's not going to give them up without a fight. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING'Captivating...Gripping, relevant and frenetic.
