'ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST THRILLER WRITERS' Irish Independent
'AN ALL-ACTION FIRST NOVEL OF ESPRIONAGE, BETRAYAL AND VIOLENCE' Daily Mirror
News photographer Michael Mannis had done 'a little business' with MI5 before - but those were straightforward, small-time jobs with little danger and no consequences.
When Mannis is offered an unusually large fee to slip into communist Albania and take covert photographs of a structure that may not even exist, he suspects he might be getting into something far more serious.
According to Mannis's contact at MI5, the assignment involves telling 'only a few' white lies about his background.
But when Mannis learns the true and desperate importance of what he must do, his suspicions are confirmed.
The fate of Western Europe may hinge on whether or not Mannis takes the photographs - and more than one superpower will stop at nothing to get them...
