High Harm

by Mark Law

A team of extreme skiers filming at a remote Alpine resort stumble across a meeting that was meant to be secret. In the UK, an academic is brutally murdered after delivering a lecture on the Gangster State. His death spawns Thermidor, an oddball alliance of maverick army officers, surveillance specialists and spies with a bizarre brand of vigilantism. Their pursuit of an international syndicate of gang-lords carrying out ‘high harm’ crimes of unparalleled menace culminates in a series of breath-taking ski chases and a macabre and icy reckoning. Much more than a hair-raising thriller, this book defines the ultimate form of high harm crime so graphically that it is unclear whether the threat confronting Thermidor is mere fiction, or something hideously real.
