The negotiations for Russia to supply Europe with natural gas have reached a critical stage. A conspiracy to derail these negotiations is uncovered. A series of events point to police chief Jorg Emcke and his specialist police unit in Luxembourg being at the centre of the plot. Inspector Kate Adams, a member of Chief Emcke's team, suddenly finds her life in jeopardy and at the centre of a diplomatic row. Meanwhile senior EU politicians are rapidly trying to cover their tracks to protect their reputations and to stop highly damaging facts from coming into the public domain. With Kate missing, and Chief Emcke under house arrest, Rafi Khan finds himself ordered home. Unwilling to leave Kate in peril, Rafi sets about finding her, but in his short time working with MI5 has he gained sufficient knowledge and contacts to piece together what is really going on? And with the Russian and French security services out to stop him, how long can Rafi survive without the protection of the British Intelligence Services? This is an exhilarating sequel to "Latent Hazard".
