Heart-stopping international spy thriller from ' An espionage master' (Charles Cumming) starring ex-MI6 officer Paul Samson for fans of Mick Herron, Lee Child and John le CarreEx-MI6 officer Paul Samson prefers to work privately these days. He has been tasked with guarding a young woman, Zoe Freemantle. He doesn' t know who she is, or why she' s important, but the money' s good enough for him not to dig too deeply. He shadows Zoe, first becoming intrigued with this striking woman as he observes her movements around London. He' s just beginning to tire of a job he considers beneath him, when a watcher disguised as a homeless man attempts to abduct Zoe at knife point before his eyes. In the ensuing fracas, she escapes, while Samson wishes he' d asked more questions. When his former colleague, Robert Harland, is assassinated, the news comes with the threat that Samson' s own life - and that of others he holds dear - is on the line. Samson is sure he knows why there' s a target on his back. What he doesn' t know is who put it there - the Americans or the Russians? Two things quickly become clear. One, it was a big mistake to lose Zoe Freemantle. And two, Robert Harland, ever the consummate spy, has one final, crucial part to play from beyond the grave.
