The pulse-pounding new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor. World powers vie for supremacy and Pike Logan must prevent the situation escalating into all-out war.

While on a routine security assessment in India, Taskforce operator Pike Logan foils an attempted attack on a meeting between the CIA and India's intelligence service. Both agencies believe it's a minor incident, but Pike suspects that something much more sinister is at play.

After another terrorist attack takes place, Pike begins to believe that outside powers are destabilising India, leveraging domestic separatist groups for nothing more than economic gain. But those conducting the operations have their own agenda...

After a mass kidnapping with several fatalities, two rival global powers are destabilised. What follows is a race against the clock to de-escalate the tension, a race that winds through the bustling markets of Delhi, the luxurious resorts of Goa, and the epic halls of the Taj Mahal. It will take everything that Pike Logan and the Taskforce have to foil an intricate plot that leaves countless lives in the balance.
