Cobra 405 by Damien Lewis

1976, war-town Beirut. In a breathtaking act of daring, an unknown band of armed men blast their way into the Imperial Bank of Beirut. Over the next 48 hours they load up three trucks with gold bullion, and the raiders and the loot disappear forever.

Two weeks earlier, a young SAS Major newly arrived in The Regiment had tasked his men with scooping out just such a Beirut bank robbery - strictly as an exercise only. But when SAS veteran Luke Kilbride presented his plan for the heist, the Major tore it apart.

Kilbride and his men decided to prove the Major wrong.

But whilst the heist went like clockwork, that was just the start of things going badly wrong for Kilbride and his unit. Forced into hiding the loot, they make a quick getaway.

Now, Kilbride and his men are planning their return. But a powerful and ruthless enemy is hell-bent on reaching the gold first. So begins a race against time to retrieve the loot before the deadly Black Assassins can catch up with them.
