| Summary |
A father and daughter are pursued by a dark past in this British spy thriller by an author who "never fails to shock and surprise" (Ian Rankin). Nigel Ellis lost his wife over a decade ago in Uganda. He is remarried now, and his grown daughter, once plagued by nightmares, has finally gotten over the trauma of her mother's death-or so it seems. Nigel has decided to write a memoir about his time in Britain's security service-and he intends to include some explosive details about the country's secret connections to the brutal dictator Idi Amin and behind-the-scenes corruption. But there are some who are desperate to prevent his book from ever seeing the light of day-and now his family may be in lethal danger once again . . This nerve-jangling thriller from a Diamond Dagger winner is a dark, action-packed look at the lives of those involved in espionage and the people caught in the cross fire-guilty and innocent alike. "Reginald Hill's stories must certainly be among the best now being written." - The Times Literary Supplement "Hill is an absorbing, provocative novelist with great style and humour."-Frances Fyfield. |
