Description
’High stakes, high-octane thriller… my kind of book’ – bestselling author Lee Child
When you move, they watch. When you speak, they listen.
They track you by what you touch and how you walk.
Welcome to the not-so-distant future, where terrorism is so feared that near-total surveillance is the new way of life.
In Washington, a young American agent, Kat Polinski, is on a routine assignment – break into the embassy of the energy-rich government of Kazakhstan.
What she finds is a massacre.
But the worst is yet to come.
The murder of her sister and the discovery of a plot as dangerous as anything coming out of the Middle East, forces Kat on a new mission.
Nothing and no-one will stop her from hunting down her sister's killer.
But the closer she gets, the more she peels away layers of her own society where fear is used as a control mechanism and governments act above the law.
Kat is on a voyage of self-discovery as the truth about the ‘tragic’ deaths of both her parents – her father in an air crash and her mother’s subsequent suicide – comes into question.
Is anyone, even close family, who and what they appear?
What exactly is the relationship between her dad – a man of high moral principle – and the powerful female Russian oligarch Tina Gracheva?
