They betrayed him then took his woman and his child. Now they want his world, but Murdoch is hitting back in hot blood.

When Catherine Howard comes back like a ghost from Murdoch's past, she intends to do more than just haunt him. Her lies are like a poison that infects even his closest and oldest friends. Suddenly, Murdoch finds himself betrayed and alone, fleeing across two continents, fighting the odds to save the woman he loves and his unborn child. His only allies are a deadbeat college dropout with a schoolgirl crush and the fire in his own blood.

But in Murdoch's world, nothing is ever what it seems. In a journey that takes him from the House of Lords in London to the Pentagon in Washington DC, via Gdansk, San Francisco and a string of desert motels. If Murdoch sets one foot incorrectly or puts his trust in the wrong person, the whole world will pay the price.

The question is, who is the wrong person? As the final battle approaches, can Murdoch even trust himself?
