Cool, British, and quite sophisticated: A thriller about a ruthless contract terrorist - full of wit and dark humor, with a breathtaking showdown in the Scottish Highlands. Is this the end for Raymond Ash? In college, he and his buddy Simon dreamed of a future as rock stars, but now, in his mid-30s, he has a screaming baby and a new job as a teacher. Simon has been dead for three years. No wonder Ray can't believe his eyes when he sees him at the airport. Then, suddenly, things happen that are stranger and more brutal than anything from Ray's beloved video games. Together with police officer Angelique de Xavia, he gets caught up in a rapidly escalating series of events, and the two must rise above themselves to prevent a terrorist attack.
