Synopsis

To her husband and children, Lily Strange is a loving mother managing the rigours of the school PTA and her office duties in her import-export business at the Port of Boston. Except, on her way to ‘work’, Lily Strange hops her private helicopter to New York, where she is better known via her nom de guerre of Lilith - untouchable CEO of Eventide - a commercial brokerage specialising in the strategic requisitioning of illegal arms, narcotics and bootleg pharmaceuticals.

Life is good, she’s at the top of her game and a meticulous assignment of decisions over the years has seen Eventide balanced perfectly on the blade-edge of the international black market.

When a dangerous weapons deal from the Middle East goes south and reaches out to threaten those closest to her, Lily Strange retaliates in an equally personal fashion. Utilising the powerful cabal of specialists at her disposal - from intelligence operatives, security consultants and money launderers - Strange delivers a concussive message to her challengers, establishing once and for all her corporate supremacy of New York’s executive underground.

Now, rises an even more fearsome adversary. Noura Khan, wife of a dishonoured Saudi Arabian prince - is re-engineering her incarcerated husband’s international black market contracts to service a growing threat on American soil. And Noura’s interests are about to collide with Lilith’s.

Increasingly, Strange’s actions will have ramifications beyond her carefully curated enterprise. The ripples of her undertakings will cascade through the lives of a thousand souls and bring her own family to the brink of terror as Eventide’s secrets slip from her control. Throughout her odyssey, we will venture with Lilith Strange into the little trod domains of security consultancy, labyrinthine Arabian politics and even the urban BDSM scene in which Strange chooses to expiate her own deadly sins.
