A deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds in the shadow of the Cold War.
In Angola, the largest tank battle since World War II rages. As South African troops fight to preserve apartheid, Thomas Dylan is thrust onto the front lines. Ministers demand MI6 support, but with utmost discretion. Meanwhile, a shocking death hits closer to home. After decades in British Intelligence, Adam Joseff is murdered in the Caribbean, igniting a firestorm of questions. Has Joseff betrayed his country, or has he been betrayed? And what is his connection to a young Angolan student?
As the Dylans piece together the clues, they confront death, betrayal, and their own consciences. But as politicians seize control, Thomas and Julia find themselves caught in a web of deceit where the lines between friend and foe blur, and the price of truth may be higher than they ever imagined. Perfect for readers of John le Carré and Robert Harris.
