THE TRIUMPHANT CONCLUSION OF THE STORY THAT BEGAN WITH THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER SILVER

OVER 100,000 COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE

"I am Solomon. Remember my name."
How could the world forget? The cardinals were dead, murdered with the eyes of the world watching intently. The people that were supposed to protect them had failed spectacularly.
The promise had been for forty days and forty nights of fear.
It had been less than a week since Solomon delivered his threat that those steeped in sin would burn and the dying has begun with that first burning body in Trafalgar Square.
The media speculate that it is an attack on faith, that Solomon is out to destroy all symbols of Christianity. They fear for the holy relics, the Shroud of Turin, the Spear of Destiny, all of the fragments of the true cross, anything and everything sacred to Rome, but it is so much more than that.
There is a traitor in their midst. The old man has lost control of his team. Word has been sent out by Control to bring them in, but Konstantin isn't ready to give up yet. He knows there is a link between Miles Devere, his company Humanity Capital and the man calling himself Solomon, and he won't go down without a fight. He will do everything humanly possible to win this fight. That is the Russian way.
Noah Larkin blames himself. All of those lost lives are on him. He could have saved them. He should have saved them. But he'd screwed up. He doesn't believe in second chances, but thanks to Dominico Neri he's being offered one. But at what price?
Both men are running for their lives.
In his last message to the faithful Osama bin Laden urged the young men to rise up against the nodes of capital because the US, like Russia, was a Paper Tiger. When Jude Lethe starts to observe peculiar traffic on the DarkNet seemingly organising concerted attacks on the economies of the major capitals of Europe he knows he's onto something big. This is the truth. It's all about the money. It' always about the money. And if there's money there's a trail that will lead to Solomon. There has to be.
Forty days and forty nights of fear.
Can the world survive the nerve-shredding anxiety that kind of fear brings with it without turning on itself?
As the first ghost planes falls out of the sky, all of its passengers and crew dead, killed by some toxic nerve agent released by one of Solomon's sleeper agents, the answer seems to be a resounding no. The enemy is too big. Too strong. The stakes too high.
But that impossible fight was exactly the kind of threat his team of misfits had been assembled to face down. They were the only ones capable of acting outside the law, no restrictions on how far they can go to protect the Realm, no action too extreme -- because they aren't there.
They don't exist.
Everything they do and have done is deniable.
