A white-knuckle tale of responsibility, betrayal and the search for atonement from the bestselling author of The Good Liar.
Nicholas Searle is the author of three novels. His first novel, The Good Liar, was a Sunday Times bestseller and was shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger for the best debut crime novel. Before becoming a writer, Nicholas worked in British intelligence for more than twenty-five years. He lives in Yorkshire.
Searle has fun with the office politics of the intelligence world,
and is thoughtful about the ethics of espionage . . . it seems
something akin to poetry can be the best medium for expressing the
practicalities of the hard-nosed business of espionage.
