A fading sheet of A4, buried in the vaults of an intelligence service on the other side of the world? Or perhaps it was only ever a myth, a cold war legend...

But maybe ‘The Pale Tiger’ is horribly real, a brutal audacious plan to visit a deadly revenge with breath-taking historical symmetry.

As an American and a Chinese warship collide in the storm-lashed South China Seas the world holds its breath. Trade and territorial tensions between the two superpowers have been escalating at an alarming rate and this latest crisis threatens to strain already fraught relations to breaking point.

In the US, still gripped in an epidemic of opioid abuse, the corridors of Washington hum with intrigue. Rival factions at the very heart of the intelligence complex fiercely pursuing their own agendas, but to what end?

In London, a strange death at a leading Global Hedge Fund attracts the attention of DI Anne Perry. She suspects foul play, but someone has covered their tracks well. She senses something, stalking the elegant corridors of high finance - something worth killing for.

MI6 also has this same Hedge Fund in their sights and Emma Wilson is dispatched to Hong Kong trailing one of the fund’s principals. There, she makes a shocking discovery that will change everything. As the world thunders towards the precipice of war, erstwhile enemies must forge an unlikely alliance to uncover the conspiracy that threatens to engulf the globe in conflict. Who is The Ringmaster? And what is Operation Pale Tiger?
