Baghdad. July. 2003
My name is Harry Smith and I'm part of the UK Secret Intelligence Service. I've been sent to Iraq as part of the hunt for Weapons of Mass Destruction - you know, the ones we told the UN were there but weren't? That's them. The weapons might not be here, but there are still plenty of scientists capable of building these awful things.
My job is to find a dozen of the best - or worst if you like - and offer them a way out that doesn't include terrorism or the Axis of Evil.
Despite this being what might be considered an important job, I'm alone and off the books, without backup or support.
These eggheads don't want to be found and, just to make it even harder, I'm barely one step ahead of a CIA hit-squad intent on erasing them permanently. All this while surrounded by unexploded ordnance, IEDs, insurgents, political mayhem, and angry locals.
Easy.

Raised in the peaceful English countryside of Gloucestershire by Scandinavian parents, Will Erikson has spent the last thirty years living and working around the world. He joined the British Army while still studying for his doctorate in History, after which he was recruited into the security services.
The author spent the next decade combatting the proliferation of large-scale weapon technology in Asia and the Middle East. Since leaving the services, Will has been an independent and in-house corporate investigator.
He says, "I have a great love of books and have been a voracious reader throughout my life. My favourite and most influential authors include Nelson DeMille, Colin Dexter, Dennis Lehane, Craig Thomas, Douglas Adams, Stephen King, and the earlier Tom Clancy works. I hope to inspire others the way these writers did me.
Will is based in France.
