Ten days to save a life. One second to end it. Mitch McDeere has cheated death and come out the other side. Fifteen years ago, he stole $10 million from the mob and disappeared. Now, with his enemies jailed or dead, he has fought his way to the top of the biggest law firm in the world. When a new case takes Mitch to Libya, danger awaits : he's soon in the biggest hostage negotiation in recent history with terrorists who have murdered and will murder again.
Their demand is staggering : a ransom of $100 million must be paid within 10 days. But this isn't a random attack - it's personal. With the clock ticking, can Mitch stay one step ahead ?
