The cost of wealth and power
Valentina Ortiz, the largest political donor in the USA, has made many enemies. That's made her overprotective of her two sons: her youngest, Chuck, is working under a false name as an analyst for the CIA in London, and the eldest, Diego, never leaves her side as she directs her global business empire.
A mother's worst nightmare
When Chuck fails to turn up for work in London, the alarm is raised. But when Diego is kidnapped in Switzerland, Valentina faces a mother's worst nightmare. Desperate about the fate of her sons, she'll stop at nothing to save them. The US President's chief of staff is soon pressuring Leonard de Vries, the CIA director in London: "Find Chuck and get him somewhere safe - real safe."
A mission for Mike
Leonard De Vries turns to the one asset he truly trusts, analyst Michaela 'Mike' Kingdom, who was the last person to see Chuck alive when he turned up unannounced at her woodland home in Oxfordshire. Why was he convinced his life was in danger? And what did he mean when he announced he was "going to see the tulips"? The search for an answer to that riddle will propel Mike on a frightening and life-changing journey.
