A DYING RUSSIAN SCIENTIST confesses to his children what he did as a young man.

A MURDERED SPY shares vital intelligence before he’s ruthlessly assassinated in the English countryside.

A RITUAL KILLING hidden in a forest clearing in Sweden hints at something much worse.

EX-SAS OPERATOR Tommy Kane has always had Stella’s back, but as the threats against them escalate, will his formidable skills be enough this time?

Perfect for fans of James Bond, I Am Pilgrim and the Bourne franchise, with its intriguing espionage, a Mission Impossible-style threat and underdog protagonists that you can’t help but root for.
