About the book

SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH 'Spectacular.' Mail on Sunday 'Top-tier.' New York Times The pulse-racing international thriller of the year Meet Will Rhodes: travel writer, recently married, barely solvent, his idealism rapidly giving way to disillusionment and the worry that he's living the wrong life. Then one night in Argentina a beautiful woman makes him an offer he can't refuse. Soon Will's bad choices - and dark secrets - take him across Europe, from a Bordeaux chateau to a midnight raid in Paris, from a Dublin dive-bar to a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean and an isolated cabin perched on the cliffs of Iceland. As Will is drawn further into a tangled web of international intrigue, it becomes clear that the network of deception ensnaring him is part of an immense and deadly conspiracy with terrifying global implications - and that the people closest to him may pose the greatest threat of all. 'Continues his run of smart, elegant thrillers . . . written with wit and charm as well as satirical brio.' Guardian 'It's hard to believe this is only Pavone's third book - he's already an automatic must-read for me.' LEE CHILD 'A successful mix of Gone Girl and John Le Carré ... Events speed to a spectacular denouement.' Mail on Sunday, Thriller of the Week
