A perfect weapon. A foolproof plan. And one man standing in the way. There's a new weapon on the world stage. Silent. Invisible. It boils its victims from the inside out and leaves no trace. A perfect assassination tool. A massacre in Pittsburgh was just a demonstration. A proof of concept before the weapon is scaled up. And the rogue faction behind it have far greater ambitions. They don't care if they provoke a war between the United States and China in the process. In fact, that's the point.

Detective Dave Burrows has longed for the top job in the Stock Squad but never thought he'd be acting in that role while his partner and best mate, Detective Bob Holden, is treated for melanoma. Bob is keen to get back on the road and Dave can't wait to go bush either, expecting the trip will be much the same as usual. But the trip doesn't play out that way. Multiple bomb blasts in the small country town of Kallygarn send shock waves through the state of WA, and Dave and Bob are once again drawn into the underworld of crime.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent Bill Tasker is still smarting from a run-in with the FBI that almost got him killed when he reluctantly teams up with them again on a case involving a stolen Stinger missile. The op goes smoothly enough (though the feds take all the credit; what else is new?), but something about the whole set-up just doesn’t feel right to him. He pokes around a bit and stirs up more trouble than a nest of rattlesnakes: with his boss, with the FBI, with the ATF, and worst of all, with a certain gentleman who loves to see things blow up.
