This sends Victoria on a mission to seek justice and expose corruption within the programme.

When she unwittingly incriminates an innocent man, he too meets a violent death. Victoria’s quest for the truth now pits her against powerful Swiss lobbyist Anton Roos, a master manipulator with dark links to her own family history. The other is Nabil Abbas, an exiled and ruthless Iraqi businessman with an insatiable appetite for wealth and power. As events unfold, Victoria is forced to dig deep within herself and question everything she thought she stood for. With the body count rising amongst her friends and allies, Victoria presses on to a life-or-death showdown and a battle for her own soul.
