The downing of a Russian military plane has dangerous global consequences in this spy thriller from the New York Times–bestselling “master of suspense” (The Pittsburgh Press).
Spymaster Sir Kenneth Aubrey thinks operative Patrick Hyde is dead. Hyde is, in fact, alive, but after witnessing a military airline being shot down by a team including both KGB and CIA, he may not be for long.
As Hyde tries to elude capture and get evidence to British intelligence, Aubrey is drawn into intrigue concerning the suspicious crash of a civilian airliner in America—and both will be racing against time to put the pieces together in this edge-of-your-seat thriller that ranges from Gorbachev’s Russia to Central Asia to sunny California . . .
“Exciting . . . Aubrey and Hyde wear well.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The denouement is stark and gripping.” —Publishers Weekly
