Russian millionaire, Dmitry Lebedev, has been flying under the radar in Sydney for years. Now somebody wants him dead. Desperate to make a deal to stay alive, he contacts his former CIA case officer, Ronnie Johnson, with an offer to expose a traitor inside the Australian government, threatening a key intelligence partnership with the US.

Journalist John Bailey has spent decades risking his life to break news stories. Along the way hes made interesting friends, including Ronnie who saved his life in Iraq and Scarlett Merriman whose night in a Sydney hotel with Lebedev left her in a coma.

Baileys investigation into what happened to Scarlett plunges him head-first into the global spy game. And his old friend, Ronnie Johnson, needs his help. Because the same people going after Lebedev have framed Ronnie for murder.

A carefully crafted, propulsive thriller that sails uncomfortably close to the truth.Michael Brissenden
