‘A superb debut...the writer has obviously been somewhere or something in the spy business’ ―The Times Thriller of the Month
How far would you go to save someone you love?
Jonas is a spy with a problem. His quiet life spent writing reports for British intelligence is turned upside-down when his father is kidnapped by Islamic State, and he soon finds himself dangerously out of his depth in Beirut, struggling to put into action the most audacious plan imaginable.
As events hurtle towards a confrontation with the kidnappers in the desert, Jonas is forced to decide how far he is willing to go to see his father again.

Paperback. Etat : New. Jonas is a British spy out in the cold. When his father, an elderly clergyman, is kidnapped and held for ransom by ISIS in Syria, he takes matters into his own hands and begins to steal the only currency he has access to: secret government intelligence. He heads to Beirut with a haul of sensitive documents and recruits an unlikely ally - an alcoholic Swiss priest named Father Tobias. Despite barely surviving his previous contact with ISIS, Tobias agrees to travel into the heart of the Islamic State and inform the kidnappers that Jonas is willing to negotiate for his father's life. British and American intelligence agents in Beirut try everything in their power to stop Jonas, and he finds himself tested to the limit as he fights to keep the negotiations alive and play his enemies off against each other. As the book races towards a thrilling confrontation in the Syrian desert, Jonas will have to decide how far he is willing to go to see his father again. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781908524980

The writer has obviously been somewhere or something in the spy business. This emerges not so much in the main storyline, but in the fascinating surrounding details. Moreover, Wolff has written a work that seems not to have depended on copying the style and structure of the usual tales of espionage.' review by Marcel Berlins in The Times review by Marcel Berlins in The Times Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
