Network of Lies

All Nick Torr wanted was a safe transit home. He’d been in Singapore less than six days, an unscheduled break during a nomadic journey spent in isolation and contemplation, what covert intelligence professionals refer to as dusting off the traces. Returning from settling old scores in Moscow and overseeing a campaign of gruelling operations, Nick is refused permission to proceed. Isolated, forced to endure an extended stopover, Nick is caught at the brutal core of a hostile attempt at damaging and destabilising CO8 and the Secret Intelligence Service. The disappearance, torture and murder of a British expat rumoured to be a Service asset, leads Nick back into the cut-throat world of covert double-dealing where friendship counts for nothing and the only rule is to survive.
