Saturday, February 15th, 2003, Henry Perowne is a contented man - a successful neurosurgeon, the devoted husband of Rosalind and proud father of two grown-up children. Unusually he wakes before dawn, drawn to the window and filled with a growing unease. As he looks out at the night sky he is troubled by the state of the world - the impending war with Iraq, a gathering pessimism since 9/11, and a fear that his city and his happy family life are under threat.
