IF THE TRUTH DIES . . . A NATION FALLS.
Masked gunmen open fire in London's Chinatown, killing twelve innocent men and women. Within minutes, an online manifesto claims responsibility in the name of Taiwanese independence.
The Chinese government demands answers. Fast. So MI5 brings in Dan "Spider" Shepherd to uncover the truth.
The investigation is thrown into chaos when Shepherd's boss, Giles Pritchard, is suspended after a video emerges linking him to the attackers. Shepherd is convinced the footage is a deepfake. Proving it is another matter.
As he digs deeper, Shepherd discovers that the massacre was never about terrorism. It is the opening move in a conspiracy designed to help China regain control of Taiwan.
At the centre of the plot is Matthew Langford, a billionaire tech visionary who has developed an AI system that can shape public opinion, manipulate markets and influence political decision-making.
As Chinese warships close in on Taiwan, Shepherd uncovers evidence that Langford is using his AI technology to subvert British democracy itself. But the only way to prove that is to penetrate Langford's power base in the Scottish Highlands - and put his life - and the lives of his friends - in the firing line.
