Read Zero History Storyline:
London, after the money-shock.Semi-famous former hit-singer Hollis Henry is running on empty. Short of funds. Short of a new project. Short of whatever it was that made her life tick, she agrees - reluctantly - to work again for sinister Belgian businessman Hubertus Bigend, proprietor of the mysterious ad agency Blue Ant.
Bigend, an excavator of the world's hidden architectures, explains that he needs a freelancer, a wildcard. There's a secret, obscurely fashionable denim called 'The Gabriel Hounds', which is revered by an exclusive, well-connected elite. He needs Hollis to hunt down the person behind the Hounds.
Ex-junkie Milgrim's also on the payroll. Bigend appreciates Milgrim's knowledge of the street and his linguistic skills so much that he's paid for his costly rehab, and now he has him on a project working on something involving military designs. Milgrim doesn't know why - and Bigend isn't saying. But then Milgrim's also not telling Bigend about the US agent on his trail.
Soon it's clear to Hollis and Milgrim that Bigend and Blue Ant are in trouble. Deep trouble. Powerful and threatening groups want Blue Ant to back off. And anyone considered a footsoldier for Bigend, or even just in the way, is liable to find themselves caught in the crossfire.
Set among London's dark and tangled streets, Zero History is a brilliant thriller about the hidden webs and patterns that underlie the new century.
