Nick Stone’s future looks bleak. The only person he’s ever loved is dead. The only people who might save him have turned their backs.

Until a chance encounter reunited him with a man whose life he saved 10 years ago.

What seems a simple quest in Baghdad takes Stone into the heart of a chilling conspiracy, from violent Bosnia, through lightening-paced action in Iraq. But too late, he realizes that he is being used as bait to lure into the open a man he believes can offer some salvation. A man whom the darker forces of the West will stop at nothing to destroy...

Reviews:

“Andy McNab knows where his strengths lie, and it's not just in his biceps... Only people who have not read this book could suggest that he is not a fine writer. It is a heart-thumping read” - Daily Express (UK)

“McNab is the best suspense thriller writer to put pen to paper since Alistair MacLean” - Stephen Coonts

“McNab is a terrific novelist. When it comes to thrills, he’s Forsyth class” - Mail on Sunday (UK)

“McNab’s great asset is that the heart of his fiction is not fiction: other thriller writers do their research, but he has actually been there” - The Sunday Times (UK) (less)
