Description

The brilliant new spy novel from the author of Honour Among Spies.

In the aftermath of Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel, Mossad's London station chief Eli Amiram is fighting battles on all fronts. When his ambitious rival plans an assassination on British soil - supposedly authorized by Trump supporters - Eli suspects a deeper conspiracy.

Meanwhile, British intelligence asset Petra is hunting for redemption. Tasked with recruiting Wasim Al-Arikhi - whose sister she failed to save from becoming a suicide bomber - Petra's drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Can Wasim be trusted or has she become a target

As Eli and Petra's paths converge, they discover that in the shadow world of international espionage, the greatest threats often come from within. With time running out, they must confront not just their enemies, but their own moral choices in a world where nothing is quite what it seems.

A sophisticated spy thriller that weaves together tradecraft, betrayal and the human cost of intelligence work.
