Sometimes, when the nightmare ends, the terror follows . . .

For Hannah Shapiro, a beautiful young American student, the nightmare began eight years ago in Los Angeles, when Jack Morgan, owner of Private – the world's most exclusive detective agency – saved her from a horrific death.

She fled her country, but can't flee her past. The terror followed her to London, and now it is down to former Royal Military Police Sergeant Dan Carter, head of Private London, to save her all over again.

Carter draws on the global resources of Private in a desperate race against the clock.

Private may be the largest and most advanced detection agency in the world, but what they don't have is the one thing they need - time.
