A Section 20 mission in Vienna is diverted when the team learns that four European Union officials, including MI6 agent John Allen, who has firsthand knowledge of Latif and Project Dawn, have been kidnapped in Kosovo.

Scott, Stonebridge and the four hostages find their backs to the wall after a double-cross involving KFOR troops and drug overlord Hasani, and another twisted facet of Latif's dark empire surfaces - a human organ farm.

The hunt moves to Chechnya where Latif and associates have been testing a toxic nerve agent. The related discovery of forged passports sends the team on to Hungary, where dignitaries are in danger of a chemical attack.

Section 20 tracks two suicide bombers who could bring Budapest and the World Security Summit to its knees. The plot thickens when a Pakistani general-turned-presidential candidate is abducted en route to the summit.

The kidnapping of a doctor whose father is Latif's chief armourer gives Section 20 a lead on Latif, albeit through an alliance with Gerald Crawford whose weapons were likely used in the New Delhi & Cape Town assaults.

Stonebridge heads out with Crawford and Jacoub on the trail of Clare who's been dragged by Tahir to a Janjaweed camp. Meanwhile, forced to the sidelines in Sudan, Scott learns hospitals can be hazardous to your health.
