THE TORN-FROM-THE-HEADLINES THRILLER FROM CWA STEEL DAGGER WINNING AUTHOR SIMON CONWAY

A SPY ALONE. AN ENEMY WITHIN.

A veteran American spymaster weaving an elaborate web.

A politician who makes a high-stakes promise he can’t keep.

A clutch of sophisticated air defence missiles stolen in Ukraine.

A terrorist cell with plans to commit an outrage in the US capital.

And, at the centre of it all, a British agent, operating alone and undercover, on a desperate, globe-trotting mission to prevent catastrophe.

She cannot fail . . .

Acclaim for Conway:
‘Like being strapped to a rocket. A triumph’ MICK HERRON

‘One of the best thrillers of recent years’ MISHA GLENNY
‘The master of the modern thriller’ i-PAPER
‘One of the great thriller writers of our times’ HOLLY WATT

A rip-roaring journey from the front lines to America’s corridors of power … Conway brings a powerful sense of verisimilitude to this dark, first-rate thriller. A sinister political conspiracy is seamlessly woven together with battlefield action so well drawn that the smell of cordite almost rises off the pages
