To secure the future, Clancy must confront her past.

This is the second book about the secretive organisation known as Horizon. Miss Clancy is a beautiful, yet deadly woman with a tragic past; she is the most skilled of the elite team.

Tim is one of the latest recruits, a young man who shows great potential but who is let down by his obvious infatuation for Miss Clancy. When Horizon are hired to free the daughter of a rich African, Clancy places Tim in a central role, hoping that it will give him and the other agents confidence in his abilities and secure his place in the team.

Though initially things go well and Tim justifies the faith she has shown in him, events soon begin to turn against them. Old and new foes unite in order to strike back at the elite force who find that not only has each mission been compromised but also that they are being targeted by paid assassins who are always one step ahead.

As the body count climbs Clancy is under intense pressure to solve the puzzle as to how the team have been betrayed and by whom - before more people die. It is only by confronting some of the horrors from her past that she is able to make any headway and it then comes down to a simple question, in the shattering finale, of whether she can save not only herself but also her colleagues before they are annihilated by a brutal force tasked simply to erase them all.

"Clancy’s fourth shot hit the wooden board just behind him, the splinters flying everywhere, but somehow deflecting the bullet, destined for his spine, at the last moment. Even so, the projectile still caught his left hip, and grazed it with a non-lethal, but intensely painful, open wound. Both she and he knew the next would hit him. Clancy chambered it in the time it took the long lashes to caress her pretty eyes within their next sweep. She knew she would end it in a second or two."
