Ismail Karaman is one of the deadliest terrorists in recent history. So why is he free to float around the Persian Gulf on his luxury yacht? Ex-intelligence agent James Ryker thinks he knows why and the answer lies at the corrupt heart of the SIS. Ryker isn't one to let the bad guys get away with murder even if it means taking matters into his own hands. But Karaman has many enemies and one in particular will make all their lives much more complicated. . . They call her the Angel of Death - a former agent whose last encounter with Karaman cost her her family and left her in a Lebanese prison cell. Now she's free and with nothing else to lose she's determined to get her revenge. . . whatever it takes. Ryker and the Angel may have the same target but that doesn't mean they're on the same side. Who will reach Karaman first? And who will still be standing when the bodies pile up?
