‘You’re up for election in another couple of years. You want the voters knowing your mother might have been involved in a

She gave him a quick sideways smile. ‘I would never breathe a word. But you know politics.’

‘Promise me,’ she said. ‘You’ll wait to hear from Harry ‘before you do anything.’

‘You’re afraid I’m going to run up to Houston, check out the Bellinis. See if I can find her myself if Harry backs out?’

‘I know you. Let Harry handle this. Be patient. Stay out of it, Whit, please. Promise me.’

‘My family was never much good in the promises department,’ Whit said. ‘But I won’t do anything you wouldn’t approve of, okay,
worrywart?’

: Sam Capra is an ex-CIA agent, an ex-husband, and an utterly devoted father - to a child stolen from him by Novem Soles, an international intelligence agency as mysterious as it is powerful.

In exchange for his abducted son, the group commands Sam to commit a high-profile assassination. Teaming up with an equally desperate woman, Sam must unravel a deadly conspiracy - and keep himself alive - if he’s to rescue the only thing in the world that matters to him.

The most dazzling novel yet from one of the world’s best-loved suspense writers - a relentlessly exciting, emotionally involving tour de force.
