The past is a deadly weapon.
Former British soldier Jonathan Pine navigates the shadowy recesses of Whitehall and Washington where an unholy alliance operates between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. To infiltrate the inner circle of lethal arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper, Pine must himself become a criminal.
Pine's past resurfaces after a chance sighting. He's pulled into a deadly conspiracy reaching from Colombia's jungles to the heart of MI6.
Pine is on the run and using a new identity. Under the name Matthew Ellis, he travels to Colombia to get inside Teddy dos Santos's operation and uncover the mystery of the Cartagena shipment.
Pine gains Teddy's trust and secretly finds the proof he needs to connect the Cartagena shipment to covert British intelligence interests. But then things start to go wrong.
Pine has the proof he needs to expose the British-backed overthrow of the Colombian government. But Teddy no longer trusts Matthew Ellis, and Gilberto Hanson is on his tail.
Matthew Ellis has been exposed, and Pine can no longer run. He meets Gilberto Hanson and offers a deal. Then, Pine covertly starts to work on Teddy and dismantle the Colombia operation from within.
Pine works with Teddy to bring down Gilberto Hanson’s Colombia coup from the inside. But Hanson has found a new ally of his own. It is winner-takes-all.
