Synopsis

When part-time legal investigator and full-time artist Danny Cray gets a chance to pick up some extra cash trying to trace the source of a smear campaign against a mysterious European tycoon, he jumps at it eagerly. But all is not as it seems in this taut, intricately plotted thriller--except Danny, of course, who turns out to possess unexpected resources of grit and brains. The action moves from Washington to Geneva to that volatile area of Turkey where tribal politics, religion, and corruption collide with explosive results. John Case mixes strong descriptive prose, interesting characters, a powerful narrative, and a dramatic denouement to come up with a sure winner in his fourth novel, one fans of Ludlum and le Carré are sure to enjoy.

About this title

Review:

"This is truly thriller writing on an epic scale; the narrative goes globe-trotting from the Eternal City to Istanbul to the corridors of power in Washington" (The Good Book Guide)

"The elements of international thriller and Omen-style terrors are cannily synthesized, making for a highly compelling read" (The Good Book Guide)

From the Publisher:

A new novel of breathtaking adventure and dazzling scope from the New York Times bestselling author of THE GENESIS CODE.
