A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For six years, Alec Milius has been trying to escape his past. But his past refuses to release him. Abandoned by M16 after a disastrous operation with the CIA, Milius has slowly rebuilt his life in Madrid: he has a flat, a job and a relationship. Older and wiser than the young spy who first caught the eye of British Intelligence, Milius still has a talent for deception. So when a prominent politician disappears in suspicious circumstances he can't resist tracking him down. But the rules have changed. Alec is now working alone. Paranoid and expendable, he soon becomes vulnerable to the ruthless duplicities of the secret world. He can trust no one. But as he comes face to face with the nightmare of modern terror, Alec is given one last chance for redemption...
