Sam Packer, hero of 'Fire Hawk' and 'The Lucifer Network', has a new assignment that will combine all his diplomatic and survival skills.
Fifty-five years after the end of World War Two, the Burmese jungle still holds bloody secrets . . .
When wealthy businessman and former Japanese POW interrogator Tetsuo Kamata offers to make reparation for abusing his Allied prisoners, he is recognised by former POW Peregrine Harrison. Harrison never got over his maltreatment at Kamata's hands and has dreamed of killing him ever since. Now he has his chance.
MI6 officer Sam Packer is diverted from his hunt for an ex-SAS drug trader and given the order to stop Harrison. The search takes him deep into Harrison's past and to the poppy fields of the Golden Triangle. To save Kamata from execution Packer must penetrate an alien and hostile world, a quest which brings him face to face with the very drug lords who have sworn to kill him . . .
