Scamarcio is given just twenty-four hours to meet the terrorists’ demands, or their hostages will be killed, along with thousands more.     The only catch? He cannot involve the police or the security services.     Racing against both the clock and his own colleagues, Scamarcio must uncover the truth behind the attacks before it’s too late.
