Against a backdrop of rising military tensions with North Korea, Chelmin and Spaulding, based in Seoul, confront the work of a madman who puts bombs on bullet trains and on US Army buses.
With thirty Americans dead, the CID agents uncover a viper who used bombs to manipulate the stock market for fun and profit. The CID joins forces with an incorruptible senior ROK officer, only to learn that the killer is the son of a very powerful official. Determined to rid themselves of an honest cop who knows too much, the killer’s father outsources his problem to the Snakeheads, a lethal international gang, who mount successive attacks on the CID agents and their ROK police ally.
The agents realize that the only way to find justice for the Americans killed by bombs is to somehow lure the bomber out of South Korea, where his father has no power. Help arrives from an unexpected source: The killer's sexy sister, who hates her brother. She breaks into his computer and sends the CID pages of incriminating evidence, enough to get a US judge to issue a sealed arrest warrant.
Now all they have to do is find a way to lure the killer to America...
Especially for fans of Tom Clancy, Lee Child, and James Rollins, this explosive thriller will keep you guessing till the not-so-bitter end.
