Synopsis

The Establishment is a powerful clandestine organization, embedded in the governments of the world’s most powerful nations. Orchestrating assassinations, international conflicts and alterations of government structure. The Establishment are responsible for many key events and disasters that happen all around the globe. Their focus is now fixed on a bio-chemical weapon held on UK soil, approved at senior level between top intelligence officers at MI6 and CIA. In a secret deal bringing millions to the British economy…but at what price?
Andrea Becker is a highly motivated officer who has climbed the career ladder through sheer hard work. She dedicates her life to her job and heads up the splinter group ‘Division.9’. She must now work to uncover a plot - code name “Tessera”, to alter the political and physical landscape of London. Andrea faces a constant struggle as her department is under investigation after a failed mission in the Ukraine. Her colleague, Sir Robert Hill, a senior Government Official and Head of The Intelligence Committee, has sanctioned Vanessa Anderson to investigate.
She is a stickler for procedure and is sceptical of Andrea’s methods. There appears to be a mole within the Division that must be discovered, but who can she trust?
The failed covert mission in the Ukraine concludes with two of the Division 9 operatives, Dominic Richardson and his friend Simon Carter, being captured and tortured by Ukrainian military. A drone is dispatched in secret by the CIA to cover their involvement. Andrea Becker, unaware of these events, sends UK Special Forces to rescue Carter and Richardson. Carter is found and brought back to the UK to recover at The Manor, whilst Richardson is presumed dead. However, Richardson is very much alive and reveals his own agenda. Revenge is his primary objective. Richardson has a very complex and psychotic nature that he has kept hidden. That facade is now slipping away and the true Dominic Richardson and his allegiances are coming into play.
Alexander Spencer, a handsome, charismatic, multi-million dollar businessman who is used to getting his own way, recruits Dominic Richardson. Spencer has influential friends within the UK government. Spencer also has full NATO security clearance whilst providing arms to numerous corrupt governments.
Spencer plays golf with the Prime Minister and appears to be almost untouchable. This is far from the truth, as he is secretly part of The Establishment where no-one is untouchable.
Spencer has a score to settle after a rival government minister decommissions a massive surveillance product order, losing Spencer millions. Nobody makes a fool of him. He will stop at nothing -blackmail, murder, or even the devastation of London.
Dominic Richardson, along with his team, comprising of
computer hacker - Boyd, and mercenaries Mangles, Jinx and Le Boucher, threaten to cripple London with a bio-chemical terrorist attack financed by Alexander Spencer...but who is actually working for who?
