Vin Cooper is hunting for a kidnap victim. Meanwhile the CIA is hunting for a missing nuclear bomb.
Special Agent Vin Cooper has just returned from an off-books mission in the Congo. Now he’s caught up in something even more dangerous…
An ex-air force colleague has been kidnapped. His severed hand, with a demand for five million dollars, has found its way to Cooper’s door – and he has just twenty-one days to pay. Cooper must track the missing man’s movements from a topless revue in Vegas, to the favelas of Brazil and finally to the pirate-patrolled waters off Somalia.
Meanwhile, the CIA are searching for a stolen thermonuclear device. Suddenly, Cooper’s quest to find his friend becomes a journey to the heart of a chilling conspiracy. A journey that Cooper might not survive…
Editorial Reviews
Review
Slam-bang mystery-action thriller. Rollins can tell a story all right ― The Age
A white-knuckle read on a par with anything that James Patterson or Nelson DeMille might offer ―
Library Journal
A thumping good page-turner… takes off from page one and never lets up. A rollicking ride and Rollins has made the action as authentic as possible. Essential reading for any plane flight. Highly recommended ―
Sun Herald
Sucked me right in… punchy, Chandleresque wit… take this one to the beach and you’ll leave with sunburn ―

About the Author
David Rollins was born in Sydney and still lives there. He attempted to join the military on leaving school and, luckily for both parties, was rejected. He became a journalist, and then an advertising copywriter. After twenty years selling useless stuff to people who didn’t want or need it, he decided to try to dig a tunnel out of that game and, in 1999, sat down to write his first novel. He’s still digging.
