Rather than being hailed a hero, Marchant is immediately suspected of colluding with terrorists, due to his father’s controversial past as a former MI6 chief accused of treachery. Branded a fugitive, Daniel is forced into a globe-trotting quest—from London to secret CIA black sites in Poland, then to India—to uncover the truth behind his father’s downfall and expose a conspiracy involving internal agency betrayal and international espionage. Facing adversaries at every turn, tortured by the CIA, and unsure whom to trust, Marchant races against time to clear his name and avert a political assassination. The novel blends cerebral intrigue with high-octane action in a style likened to Le Carré’s intelligence and Bourne’s adrenalized energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Author:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003eJon Stock\u003c\/strong\u003e (born 12 May 1966 in England) is a British journalist-turned‑novelist.
