Description
A heart-racing thriller from the no. 1 international bestselling author.
Book 3 in the Will Robie Series
"Baldacci's prose crackles with urgency ... Robie and Reel fans will thrill to see their favourite spies back in action." — Kirkus
The mission is to enter one of the most dangerous countries in the world. The target is one of the toughest to reach. The result could be momentous — or it could be Armageddon. There is no margin for error.
US government operatives Will Robie and Jessica Reel have to prove they are still the best team there is. But are they invincible when pitted against an agent whose training has been under conditions where most would perish?
An old man is dying in an Alabama prison hospital; it seems there is one more evil game he has still to play. And it's a game which comes close to home for Reel and Robie. But this time the stakes might be way too high.
