Hot on the trail of a North Korean looking to sell sensitive US intelligence to the Syrian regime, Pike Logan and the Taskforce stumble upon something much more: the sale of a lethal substance called Red Mercury.
Unbeknownst to the Taskforce, the Syrians plan to use the weapon of mass destruction against American and Kurdish forces and blame the attack on terrorists, forcing Western nations to reassess their participation in the murky cauldron of the Syrian civil war.
Meanwhile, North Korea is planning a far more devastating double-cross that will dwarf the Syrian attack even as it shifts the blame to the Syrian government.
Leveraging Switzerland's reputation for secrecy and its vast network of military bunkers—now repurposed by private investors for the clandestine storage of wealth—North Korea intends to use Red Mercury to cripple the West's ability to impose further sanctions against the rogue regime.
As the Taskforce begins to unravel the plot, a young refugee unwittingly holds the key to the conspiracy. Hunted across Europe for reasons she cannot fathom, she is the one person who can stop the attack—if she can live long enough for Pike and Jennifer to find her.
A heart-pounding thriller featuring Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill as they face a conspiracy where nothing is as it seems.
