Fired from a top-secret Soviet nuclear base in the chaotic last days of the communist regime, a KGB security man steals a suitcase bomb, smuggles it out and buries it in his backyard. Sixteen years later he's going to put it on the market. It's as lethal as on the day it was manufactured - capable of effectively wiping out a major city.

Set in Britain in the murky world of the suicide bomber, his work is yet again supremely relevant and contemporary.

In the military family there is no worse crime than cowardice. Malachy Kitchen, Intelligence officer, posted to Iraq, appears guilty of it while on patrol with an infantry platoon ambushed by insurgents. When word spreads that he was 'yellow' under hostile fire, his life starts to disintegrate. Kicked out of the army, he becomes an isolated recluse in a drugs infested London estate. But the mugging of his neighbour, an elderly widow, by addicts lights the flame that draws him to regain his lost pride, to take the fight to the narcotics network he sees around him. But it is not so simple - because the drugs routes have been colonised by other factions who want to deliver equally dangerous packages around the world. And if Malachy is to complete his quest, he must first enter one of the darker alleyways of life...

Hidden in the empty vastness of the world’s greatest desert - the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia -- a tiny caravan of fugitives and camels moves painfully slowly towards its goal.
In extreme heat and exposed to cruelly vicious storms, it is a place where only the strongest and most determined men will survive. Deep in the sands, lost from sight, are the leadership of Al Qaeda, hunted, pursued and regrouping to strike again.

Among the bedouin and Arabs of the caravan one man stands out. His strength, self-imposed discipline and leadership mark him. He is an Outsider. To look into his face and memorise it is to court death. His identify is masked, his past is blanked from his memory. To him, the leadership is his only family, and his loyalty to the family is total.

Searching for him in the limitless sands and dunes are American and British experts in counter-terrorism with a full range of sophisticated electronics at hand. Above him, quartering the desert, is the unmanned Predator aircraft that is invisible in the cloudless skies and that carries the Hellfire missiles.

But he is no easy prey. If they fail to find and kill him, if he reaches his family and receives his orders, the Outsider will disappear again, before re-emerging in a teeming western city with a suitcase that will create havoc, murder when it is detonated...

Albert William Packer is the supreme baron of London crime. He rules with a
cruel, ruthless fist. To those around him, on whatever side of the law, he
is the Untouchable.

Another case against him in tatters, Packer walks free from the Old Bailey.
Now bored with his own success, Packer sets out to expand his empire
abroad. His core business is heroin, bought from the Turks in North
London's Green Lanes. Where better to cut out the middleman than at the
historic smuggling crossroads of Europe, the Balkans?

Now new men and women are drafted into the team dedicated to convicting
Packer. Only one member of the old team survives: the most junior, Joey
Cann, retained soley for his obsessional knowledge of the man who calls
himself 'Mister'. When Packer leaves for Sarajevo, it is inevitable that
Cann be sent after him for 'intrusive surveillance'. The brief: to bring
back the evidence that will finally nail Packer to the wall.

In London, it would have been no contest. But here on the war-torn, dismal
streets of a city where justice is enforced by gangster warlords, Packer is
far from home and from what he knows. Here, who will be the Untouchable?
Who will walk away?
