When young Irish/American climber, Liam Doyle, sets out to locate the body of his father, high in the death zone of the 'savage mountain' K2, he is confronted by a series of inexplicable events. Deeply troubled, he enlists the help of two friends, an ex-special forces buddy and a Washington editor. Their investigations take them into the heart of a conspiracy with the potential to wreak atmospheric havoc on a planetary scale. A critical US election race, excalating violence across Asia and increasingly hostile media create a toxic climate in which they must risk their lives to expose the truth. No Killing Sky is the ultimate global thriller for our times –12 countries, from the Himalayas to the Arctic, Washington to Kazakhstan – and a race against time to prevent a catastrophe that could soon claim the lives of more than a billion people.
