About this listen

The tense tale of a deadly terrorist plot set in Holland, from the acclaimed master of action and suspense.

AMSTERDAM AIRPORT HAS DISAPPEARED

BLACKMAIL
The mass of water in its place is the work of the FFF – an Irish terrorist group who want to force Britain's hand.

SUBTERFUGE
The Dutch call in Detective Lieutenant van Effen – feared interrogator and undercover intimate of the criminal Krakers gang – to sabotage the FFF's plan.

DISASTER
If van Effen fails and the FFF get control of the vital dyke, either Holland will sink beneath the sea or Britain will be awash with blood.
