Product information
Full publisher description
The
Danish government is determined to secure victory in the upcoming general
election. The war on terror has been positioned as the central theme of the
vote, but the administration soon gets entangled in a web of political turmoil
as terrorists take a Danish soldier hostage. Amidst the chaos, an unexpected
player enters the game - Holger Berg, a brilliant and unyielding lawyer with a
reputation for seeking justice. With a background as a Special Forces soldier,
he is used as a deniable pawn in a murky plan to rescue the hostage.



Berg
is soon ensnared in a nightmare of lies, deception and denial that reaches far
beyond the Danish borders. Each step puts his own life, his family's safety and
the very honour that defines him at risk. In this high-stakes thriller, Berg
discovers the true cost of honour and the lengths to which he will have to go
to save his nation and its soldiers from the jaws of terror.



The
fate of Denmark hangs in the balance, and the world watches on with bated
breath as the deadly game plays out.
