Charlie and Sebastian have always been a good team: Sebastian the handsome politician on the rise, Charlie his loyal enforcer, ready to get his hands dirty.
Friends since school, they know each other’s very darkest secrets.
Or so Charlie thought.
Three words in Mandarin, that’s all it takes to bring the house tumbling down. But it’s not just Charlie’s career that goes into freefall; planes can't land, the phone lines go down and the power is out.
Then the Secret Intelligence Service comes knocking.
What the hell did Sebastian do?
The Peak is a nailbiting and fast-moving international thriller that weaves a story of friendship and betrayal together with the ruthless geopolitics of China's rise, set in the last twenty four hours of the world as we know it.
