Situation: Code Red

The Assassin: If all goes to plan, Hazbi Dunja will die slowly, in agony, away from the world. His pretty female aide will be an added bonus - and revenge will have been worth waiting for.

The Assignment: Charlie Paddon and his straight-talking partner, Alex Chappell are the Diplomatic Protection Unit's best. They must escort Dunja - the Croatian foreign minister - safely to London.

Only the moment his plane touches on British soil, the minister vanishes.

The race is on - and the clock is ticking ...
