Synopsis

IT STARTED THE WAY A SPY STORY SHOULD START.
ON A MISTY NIGHT IN PHUKET.
IN A LITTLE BAR.

Jack Shepherd was a politically connected lawyer until he traded the fierce intrigues of Washington for the quiet life of a college professor. Everything is going pretty well for him, too, until he walks into a little bar on the jet-set island of Phuket and finds the world's most famous fugitive waiting for him.

Plato Karsarkis was once an international celebrity straight out of Vanity Fair, but a New York grand jury indicted him for racketeering and murder. When Karsarkis suddenly vanishes, the world's media whips itself into a frenzy searching for him.

Karsarkis is waiting for Shepherd in that Phuket bar because he thinks Shepherd's connections to the White House just might be his ticket back. But the US Marshals are in Phuket looking for Shepherd's help, too. The Marshals need for Shepherd to set a trap for Karsarkis so they can arrest him.

Shepherd just wants them all to go away and leave him alone. At least he does until he discovers a chilling secret. The Marshals aren't really in Phuket to arrest Plato Karsarkis.

They're there to kill him.


"KILLING PLATO shifts the Eric Ambler style of spy novel into a cynical world of financial crime, casual murder, and spiraling conspiracies." -- International Noir Fiction
