The story follows British ex-soldier Jonathan Pine, who works as the night auditor of a luxurious hotel. He comes across a woman called Sophie who has documents which incriminate Richard Onslow Roper, a man who works on the black market and specialises in weapons.
When she is found dead, Pine goes undercover to expose Roper and avenge Sophie's death.
