Synopsis

Brandon Vale is a career thief - the best there is. He's never been caught, until he is arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Then he is broken out of prison against his will by Richard Scanlon, the former FBI agent who framed him in the first place.

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. He gives Brandon a choice: go back to jail for the next twenty years, or somehow steal $250 million from Las Vegas and buy the warheads himself . . .

About this title

Review:

Lead character Salam Al Fayed - 'Fade' - is a first-ballot certainty for the Thriller Hall of Fame. (Lee Child on Fade)

'strong thriller' (Publishers Weekly)

'In the world of political thrillers, I have the feeling that young Kyle Mills will soon be a very big player' (Frederick Forsyth)

If you haven't read Kyle Mills yet you should - I do (Tom Clancy)

From the Publisher:

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
UK Editor
