      More complex than Dan Brown. More thrilling than Le Carr�. Closer to the truth than either. Counter-terrorism expert Helen Gale has one job: to protect world leaders at a summit in the Berlin Reichstag. But terrorists take hostage presidents, prime ministers, one hundred innocent children - and Helen's journalist husband. Then the executions start. Helen's life implodes. Yet she alone can see the truth. As special forces plan a deadly assault, she must enter the shattered hulk of the Reichstag to stop a bloodbath. "Blood Summit is a cracker. Pimm has hit the ground running" - Matthew Parris "A scintillating take on tradecraft and statecraft" - Tom Fletcher "A rip-roaring romp of a thriller" - Sir Christopher Mallaby, former British Ambassador to Germany and France
