When Aussie spy Alan McQueen - aka Mac - agrees to return to ASIS, he's immediately dispatched to preside over a covert mission in Singapore during which two Australians are executed. Not long after, Mac is sent to Saigon for supposedly routine surveillance on a consulate high-flier. When his target is also murdered, Mac is thrown into a chase to search out the killers, staying one step ahead of rogue agents along the way. As Mac closes in on his targets, he makes some shocking discoveries about their plans to try and throw North Asia into war and fatally destabilise the Chinese government. Battling turf wars in Aussie intelligence and the shifting loyalties of American government and intelligence, Mac finds a strange ally in one of Asia's most powerful crime lords. But can he stop the ambition of one man to overthrow the Chinese government and reduce Asia to cinders? With this action-packed and gripping addition to the Alan McQueen series, Mark Abernethy confirms his status as a master thriller writer.
