Dead clients are bad for the company. Something that Tom Winter, head of security for an elite Swiss bank, knows only too well. When a plane explodes, leaving behind a charred Arab and a dead employee, Tom teams up with the mysterious Fatima to follow the money trail through Switzerland and on to Cairo, Bergen, Boston and back to the Bernese Oberland. With the NSA watching their every move, Tom and Fatima uncover explosive secrets. Realising that they are the ones being hunted, the former special forces commander is forced to use every trick in the book to find the truth - and to survive. Damnation is a breathtaking new thriller from Peter Beck with high stakes, plenty of action and a fascinating new hero.
