More about the book

Nick Stone's future appears grim after the death of his only love and the betrayal of those who might help him. A chance encounter with a man he saved a decade ago leads him on a seemingly straightforward mission in Baghdad, but he soon finds himself embroiled in a sinister conspiracy that spans from Bosnia to Iraq. As he navigates this perilous journey, he realizes too late that he is being used as bait to draw out a man he believes can provide salvation—a man targeted by powerful, dark forces in the West. Critics praise the author for his gripping storytelling and deep understanding of the subject matter. His writing is described as heart-thumping and addictive, filled with intense action and authentic tradecraft. With a background that includes a tumultuous youth, a soldier's life battling the IRA, and nine years with the elite 22 SAS, the author brings a wealth of real-life experience to his novels. He commanded a notable patrol during the Gulf War, earning multiple military honors. Now a best-selling author, he leverages his insider knowledge to craft thrilling narratives while also engaging in work for military and literacy charities, and advising the film industry on military protocols and training.
