'The French John le Carré.' Tim Ayliffe
THE THRILLING INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE FRENCHMAN.
ALEC DE PAYNS IS ON THE RUN - AND WANTED FOR MURDER.
French spy Alec de Payns is tasked with exfiltrating a North Korean defector from Beijing. The asset claims to know the details of a massive cyberattack that could destroy the world's economy. But before the man can utter a word, he dies in de Payns' arms.
The new French prime minister is enraged that such a routine job ended in disaster. Then de Payns' next mission
mysteriously collapses as well. The Company has no choice but to disavow him.
Exposed, hunted across South-East Asia and cut off from official support, de Payns must untangle a deadly conspiracy and clear his name - alone.
But in a world of deception, who can he trust? And who is truly pulling the strings in this deadly liar's game?
