About the book
July 2012: The Games have arrived in London. Everything has been meticulously planned for one of the greatest displays of athletic prowess. However, there is a sinister plot in motion. After years of waiting for this opportunity, one man is seeking revenge.
When Sir Denton Marshall, a prominent member of the London Olympic organising committee, is found decapitated in his backyard, Peter Knight, the leader of Private London, is summoned to the scene. Private is responsible for the Games' security, making Denton Marshall a crucial contact. The situation becomes more personal as Marshall was also Knight's mother's fiancé.
Still reeling from the loss of friends and coworkers in a recent plane crash at Private London, Knight is devastated by this latest tragedy. However, it quickly becomes evident that Sir Denton's murder is just the beginning, and the Games themselves are in danger.
With the world's greatest athletes gathered in London, Knight realizes he must find Sir Denton's killer before it's too late. The stakes are high, with thousands of lives on the line.
