Tough, resourceful and ruthless, ex-SAS trooper Nick Stone is now working for British Intelligence on deniable operations. And is desperately in need of cash.

When he is offered a lucrative freelance job, Stone thinks his problems are over. All he needs to do is kidnap a Russian mafia warlord.

And so Stone is thrust into the grim underworld of Estonia, with unknown aggressors stalking the Arctic landscape. Russia has launched a cyber-espionage attack, hacking into the West's most sensitive military secrets. Stone must stop them. But the mafia are waiting in the wings with their own chillingly brutal solution...

Reviews

McNab is a terrific novelist. When it comes to thrills, he's Forsyth class

—— Mail on Sunday

McNab's great asset is that the heart of his fiction is non-fiction: other thriller writers do their research, but he has actually been there

—— The Sunday Times

A deft, perceptive exploration of a fascinating neurological condition, and a cracking good thriller.

—— Lionel Shriver

A terrific first novel - well-written, genuinely unsettling and psychologically very plausible. Thrillers seldom come much better than this. Loved it, read it in one

—— Joanne Harris

An exceptional thriller. It left my nerves jangling for hours after I finished the last page

—— Dennis Lehane

So high-concept, so ambitious and so structurally brilliant. It's so rare to read a thriller that's perfect in every detail, but this one definitely qualifies!

—— Sophie Hannah

A deeply unsettling debut that asks the most terrifying question - what do you have left when you lose yourself?

—— Val McDermid

A truly amazing debut. The central character, Christine, is beautifully drawn. It's hard to imagine a more compelling, believable and sympathetic portrayal of a damaged human being. I loved it from start to finish.

—— Mo Hayder

Plenty of politics, high and low and the portrayal of college life and vicious, teeming with sycophants and thick with double dealing

—— Guardian

Pears brings to life a vibrant 17th-century world...a tour de force

—— Daily Telegraph

Crammed with period detail, it's as much a novel of ideas as it is of character

—— Val McDermid , The Week
