Description of this Book
The Olympic Games have arrived in London, and the world is waiting in eager anticipation of the biggest event in global sport. The preparations have gone flawlessly and the stage is set for one of the greatest Olympic Games of the modern era. However, one man is plotting to destroy the Games. Having waited years for this chance, he is ready to exact his vengeance. When Sir Denton Marshall, key member of the London 2012 organising committee, is found decapitated in his own back garden, Peter Knight, head of the London branch of Private investigation agency, is called to the scene. Private have been hired to work alongside the security operations at the Games, so Sir Denton was a client. He was also Knight's mother's fiance. Having only recently lost close friends and colleagues at Private London in a fatal plane crash, this new personal grief threatens to push Knight over the edge. But when it becomes clear that this attack was not an isolated incident, Knight knows that he cannot afford to crack under the pressure - the fate of the Olympics rests on his shoulders.
