Synopsis
The Kalashnikov AK47. A symbol of freedom fighters and terrorists across the globe. For years MI5 have struggled to keep this weapon out of Britain.
Undercover officer Andy Knight, in his current guise as a lorry driver, has befriended Zeinab, a young Muslim student from Yorkshire due to play a central part in an extremist plot. Connections have been made through a Manchester gangster with a source of AK47s in the impoverished high-rise estates of Marseilles. If Zeinab can find a driver for a test run to bring home one gun, then later there will come killing on a horrendous scale.
Andy knows the golden rule of undercover work: don't get too close to the target.
But sometimes, rules are impossible to follow.
Supremely suspenseful, Battle Sight Zero follows Andy and Zeinab to the lethal badlands of the French port city, simultaneously tracking the extraordinary life journey. of the blood-soaked weapon they are destined to be handed there.
