Britain's most beloved storyteller returns with another twisting adventure of obsessive love and elegant espionage starring reluctant spy and accidental hero, Gabriel Dax.

GABRIEL DAX, TRAVEL WRITER TURNED ACCIDENTAL SPY, IS BACK IN THE SHADOWS . . .

Unable to resist the allure of his MI6 handler, Faith Green, Gabriel has returned to a life of secrets and subterfuge. His latest operation takes him to Guatemala under the guise of covering a tinderbox presidential election, where the ruthless decisions of the Mafia provoke pitch-black warfare in collusion with the CIA.

As political turmoil erupts, Gabriel's reluctant involvement deepens. His escape plan leads him to West Berlin, where he uncovers a chilling realisation: there is a plot to assassinate magnetic young President John F. Kennedy.

In a race against time, Gabriel must navigate deceit and danger, knowing that the stakes have never been higher . . .
