This is a standalone story that can be read without reference to any other novel but it includes the main characters from The Assassin, the Grey Man and the Surgeon series by D C Stansfield...

With the demise of John Sea, the criminal mastermind who ran the North of England, the UK is wide open and considered easy pickings. The Russian mafia, guided by a senior member of the UK Secret Service, are now moving a huge criminal operation into position using a mixture of violence, extortion and bribery. Within months England will be under their control.

They must be stopped.

But The Assassin, the Grey Man and the Surgeon have their own problems. A one million pound contract has been put out on Surge. He is in serious trouble and must go on the run while trying to protect an innocent school teacher, the sister of his one true love. Together they will be hunted across England, moving from one safe house to another while the rest of the team tries to establish who is behind the contract and how they can strike back against the Russians. This time they face not one but two serious enemies and have to travel from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Montana, USA, in a desperate race against overwhelming odds with only their fading skills and the resources of the Firm to help.
