When, on a business trip to the US, Caroline Kent manages to publicly insult the country's leading Mafia boss she little suspects what the incident will lead to. Salvatore Scarlione isn't the kind of man to take loss of face lightly. As you might expect - but the Mob have a powerful new weapon which will enable them to do more or less what they like, including track down anyone who has got on the wrong side of them and exact punishment.

Fighting back, she is drawn into a dangerous game where she must not only protect her own life, but free the entire world from the merciless grip of the sinister Syndicate.
