After surviving a raid in Ukraine, war photographer Tash Carter is in desperate need of recuperation. She accepts a job teaching photography at Belford Abbey, a luxurious estate where the super-rich come to switch off and be renewed.

One of Belford's most esteemed clients is billionaire Eliot Drake, owner of Panopticon, a data-mining company which could be any government's biggest asset, or their greatest weapon.

When Tash is approached by an MI6 agent asking her to uncover information, she quickly learns that Eliot Drake is not just powerful - he is dangerous.

Tash has seen enemies on the battlefield, but soon she'll find that the biggest threat lies within Belford's walls...
