Description

Charlie and Sebastian have always been a good team. Sebastian is the handsome politician on the rise; Charlie is his loyal enforcer, ready to get his hands dirty.

Friends since school, they know each other's very darkest secrets.

Or so Charlie thought.

Three words in Mandarin — that's all it takes to bring the house tumbling down.

But it's not just Charlie's career that goes into freefall; planes can't land, the phone lines go down and the power is out.

Then the Secret Intelligence Service comes knocking.

What the hell did Sebastian do?

The Peak is a nailbiting and fast-moving international thriller that weaves a story of friendship and betrayal together with the ruthless geopolitics of China's rise, set in the last twenty-four hours of the world as we know it.
