A HEART-STOPPING POLITICAL THRILLER PACKED WITH INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE, BETRAYAL AND REVENGE.

Saas-Fee ski resort, Switzerland.

Karen Dawson wakes up early to hit the slopes. For once there’s no line for the cable cars. Then she sees why.

There’s a man hanging from the ski lift. He’s naked except for a cloth round his waist and there’s a wound in his side.

The grey body tied up in the shape of the cross belonged to Monsignor Antoine Salvador, Archbishop of Lyon.

The Swiss authorities call in top investigator Thierry Dulac to hunt down the killers. His search takes him from the hushed corridors of the Vatican to the quiet luxury of a British Marchioness’s château and Moscow’s infamous Lubyanka prison.

Dulac uncovers a conspiracy of dirty money, blackmail and state-backed terrorism. He’s just realized the enormity of what he’s discovered when a hitman shatters his windshield with a spray of bullets.

Karen Dawson gets swept up with helping Dulac find the killers. Now neither of them is safe . . .

Unbridled ambition leads to treachery, revenge and murder in this darkly intriguing, action-packed thriller.

An absolute must-read for all fans of John le Carré, Ian Fleming, Dan Brown, John Grisham, David Baldacci, Lee Child, Dan Latus, L.D. Beyer and Paul Bennett.
