“McNab’s great asset is that the heart of his fiction is non-fiction: other thriller writers do their research, but he has actually been there.”
—Sunday Times

From the Paperback edition.

This unforgettable story proves Andy McNab is, yet again, the master of the modern thriller.

Nick Stone’s future has never looked so bleak. The only person he’s ever loved is dead. The only people who might give him a reason not to join her have turned their backs. Until a chance encounter with a man whose life he saved ten years ago.

A simple quest in Baghdad takes Stone into the heart of a chilling conspiracy; too late, he realizes that he is being used as bait to lure into the open a man he believes can offer some salvation but whom the darker forces of the West will stop at nothing to destroy.
