‘Part James Bond, part Philip Marlowe, and all hero’—Jeffrey Deaver
But when Bill Kemp’s contact washes up dead on the frozen banks of the Danube, where the Iron Curtain falls across the map of Europe, he’s thrown into the heart of a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to destabilise the continent.
With winter closing in and enemies on all sides, Kemp must risk a daring expedition across the Austrian Alps to Switzerland.
His introduction to the dark world of espionage will prove as deadly as those bleak, beautiful mountains.
