Sam Kane was a rising star in MI5 until a rash act of revenge created a diplomatic crisis for the British Government. Now disgraced he is transferred to a provincial police force as a DCI. A government minister is brutally murdered on the streets of Manchester. With the city in chaos and the police struggling to find any evidence Kane links the event with the earlier killing of his friend, Jacky Martin, whose daughter, a geneticist, had stumbled upon evidence linking a renown scientist to the production of biogenic weapons. As the plot unfolds and Kane's own life comes under threat he is forced to turn to former allies in various security services. They help him to make sense of what evidence he has, and as he digs deeper he begins to unravel a conspiracy that appears to involve their own security services and maybe even members of the British Government. Add to this the involvement of the CIA and Mossad, then throw in a local neo-nazi group as well as a kingpin in the Manchester underworld and the plot becomes a little complicated. Kane needs to call upon all of his former skills and ingenuity to stay ahead of the game as he tracks down this group of bio-terrorists who are in the final stages of launching their weapon of mass destruction.
The book explores the darker side of the human nature as reflected by the potential threat posed by the abuse of genetic research and also in relation to those shadowy organisations which are often seen to operate above the law and with little or no accountability when operating in the 'interest of national security'.
