If he's going to save lives, starting with his own, Lachlan Fox has very little time to kill.

Investigative journalist and ex-navy operative, Lachlan Fox, is holidaying with friends in the French countryside, but when the extradition of an infamous criminal goes horribly wrong, and is somehow tied to the assassination of a Russian diplomat in Paris, Fox is forced back into action.

Over one relentless day, Fox travels from Paris to Shanghai to unravel a 100-year mystery. With a price on his head, navigating between the FBI, the CIA, and the French police, who can he trust? Racing against time, Fox is the one man who can stand in the way of a global catastrophe.
