A gripping and suspenseful international thriller from multi-award-winning author Peter Temple.
'Third floor. He looked down. An alley, bins, wet cobblestones, a street light at one end, a long way away. Straight lines of drizzles, a nimbus round each light. Where would they wait? At each end. That was what he would do. Someone at each end. Wait for him to come down, choose a direction. He couldn't see the alley's end to the right. Dead end? Suicide to go down. What the hell. He went up.'
John Anselm is a former Beirut hostage, a war correspondent who went to one war too many. A burnt-out case, he lives in Hamburg, working for a semi-legal, near-broke surveillance firm and trying to come to terms with his past.
Then into his life comes Con Niemand, ex-mercenary and professional survivor. Niemand has had the unluckiest break of his life - he has stumbled across evidence of a terrible secret and now he's on he run, the focus of a relentless high-tech manhunt across England to the remote Welsh mountains.
Against his will, Anselm is plunged into a world of violence, betrayal and death. He must break out of his anaesthetised life and pit himself against forces that he does not understand, forces determined to rebury a secret that can destroy reputations and lives across the globe.
