When the extraction of a Syrian defector is savagely compromised leaving the defector dead and one of the extraction team and a diplomat abducted, Nick Torr, Director of MI6's Covert Directorate CO8, ruthlessly hunts down the traitor who betrayed the operation.


With time running out to find the hostages alive, Torr intensifies his ferocious hunt during a bloody espionage campaign involving Mossad and the CIA, taking him from Europe to Syria, to the cruel, explosive heart of the civil war.


In this dark, vengeful world of smoke and mirrors, political conspiracy, assassination, terrorism and betrayal are at the heart of a conflict where loyalty is bought and sold as a cheap commodity.


Once Torr embarks on the ruthless pursuit of the traitor, a string of deadly bombings leads him to the merciless commander of a Palestinian group responsible for the European terror campaign, the failed extraction, kidnapping and a major, catastrophic attack planned for London.


Only one of them can survive passing the Point of No Return.
