And slowly its power is spreading...

At his disposal, anything he wants - men, resources, money. He must assemble a team equal to the lawless men who control this deadly trade.

Those rules no longer apply... and a dirty war is about to get a whole lot dirtier... ***Praise for Frederick Forsyth*** 'In a class by itself. Unputdownable.'

Guardian 'Meticulously researched' BBC ''Forsyth...personified the journalist-author as superstar.' Telegraph ***Don't miss Revenge of Odessa, the new book from Frederick Forsyth and Tony Kent***
