A global crisis starts with a single kill. Only Rake Ozenna is in a position to stop it.

Major Rake Ozenna’s latest assignment sounds simple: infiltrate the Kato family — Japan’s most powerful crime empire — and use their estranged daughter, Sara Kato, to expose a growing threat to international security.

Then a message flashes on Rake’s secure phone from Sara: Rake Ozenna. Help me.

A man is found with his throat cut at a Peace Institute on the remote Åland Islands and all the evidence has been carefully planted to point to Sara.

Sent undercover to the snowbound international conference, Rake must reach Sara before Finnish authorities — or the Kato syndicate — silence her for good.

But the deeper he digs, the clearer the truth becomes: the murder is only the opening move in a far more dangerous plan.

As a violent blizzard seals off the islands, Rake is cut off from backup, surrounded by enemies he can’t identify, and forced to protect the woman at the centre of it all — a woman who may be the key to stopping a global catastrophe . . .
