The third tense and compelling thriller to feature The Watchman - deep cover specialist Marc Portman

Marc Portman, codename Watchman, is in Russia providing covert back-up to wealthy Russian businessman Leonid Tzorekov.

When the assignment takes an unexpected turn, Portman has no choice but to take the hard cover option ...
