From the Inside Flap
Recuperating in Switzerland after a job that cost the life of one of his closest friends, ex-special forces soldier and deniable operator Nick Stone has only one thing on his mind: the girl who left his bed this morning without saying goodbye. And when she fails to reappear, Nick knows the honeymoon is over before it has even begun.
Her trail leads him to Africa, and the deep end of a very dirty Congo war – where it isn’t long before the past comes knocking at his door, and Stone finds himself catapulted once more into the dark and brutal world he’d tried to leave behind.
As one bloody twist leads to another, his apparently simple quest becomes a journey to the heart of a chilling conspiracy, to which he and his beautiful quarry unwittingly hold the key . . .
Violent and harrowing, Nick Stone’s ninth adventure is high-octane, no-holds-barred McNab – prose so testosterone-charged, action so adrenaline-pumping, it could only have been penned by the master storyteller at his electrifying, blockbusting best.
