The United States of America invades Iraq.

April 2003

The Iraq National Museum is looted. Thousands of artefacts go ‘missing’.

One year later

A rescued Iraqi prisoner has state secrets that will justify the invasion.

But the evidence is hidden in an artefact listed as ‘missing’.

When a cache of artefacts is located in a remote Iraqi hamlet, CIA Case Officer Emma Burrows rushes to secure it… unaware that a rogue mercenary team led by Luc Fortesque is already on site.

And Luc has no plans to hand over the artefacts.
