Brandon Vale is a brilliant career thief and though suspected was never caught - until the FBI framed him and jailed him for a crime he didn't commit. Then, one night, he is broken out of prison against his will by Richard Scanlon, the former FBI agent who put him away.
Scanlon has discovered that a Ukranian crime organization is auctioning twelve nuclear warheads to the highest bidder, but he can't convince the government that the sale isn't a hoax. So he blackmails Brandon to steal the $250 million necessary from Las Vegas to take the warheads off the market.
As the day of the warhead sale approaches, though, their carefully constructed plan begins to break down, and it becomes clear that someone has another plan for the warheads – a plan so terrible it would change the world forever if they are allowed to succeed . . .

Kyle Mills is an undiscovered gem in the UK. A close family
member worked for the security services in the US and so he, without giving
away any secrets, has a rare insight into how power and politics, crime and
control effects our world. He is also a terrific writer and creates great
maverick characters, cracking high-action plots and thinks up premises that
mess with all one's preconceptions of what is right and wrong. In this book
he competes with TV's '24' for sheer adrenalin. Try this and then try the
rest of his novels - you won't be disappointed. Alex Bonham, Kyle Mills's
