"Those who have sown by the wind are about to harvest the whirlwind of My wrath . . ."
Brilliant scientist Dr Grace Adams is close to a breakthrough in her groundbreaking research on GM crops. She hopes her new strain of wheat will bring huge benefits to the starving people of Bangladesh, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.
But Grace's involvement in such a radical territory as genetically modified foods has attracted attention from dangerous quarters. People whose motives for getting their hands on her research are suspicious to say the least.
Realising she's in danger, Grace turns to the one person she believes can help: her old friend, Sam Copeland, newly appointed Director of the European Anti-Terrorist Unit.
But, as he tries to protect Grace, Sam begins to fear he may have under-estimated the forces ranged in opposition. What's more, an old enemy from Sam's past has reappeared. Malkie Collins has his own reasons for descending on the small Lincolnshire community where Grace is based. And old scores to settle . . .
