With the rotten smell of his last case still lingering, Nick is hired to find a missing person.
His girlfriend, Lucy, asks him to locate Alex Bainbridge, one of her close friends from university and a member of a group of six who have remained in touch since their time there. He is a financial journalist who often goes to the ground during investigations, but this time, he has missed a regular group gathering and has become electronically invisible.
Nick's investigation uncovers a financial conspiracy that threatens to topple another government, and exposes him to a level of physical danger he hasn't encountered in years.
