A Delicate Truth

In a gripping tale from the New York Times bestselling author of A Legacy of Spies, a classified counter-terrorist operation, code-named Wildlife, aims to capture a high-profile jihadist arms dealer in Gibraltar, orchestrated by a Foreign Office Minister and a defense contractor alongside a dubious American CIA operative. Three years later, a disgraced Special Forces Soldier brings troubling revelations about the mission's true nature, prompting Toby Bell, the Minister’s private secretary, to confront his own moral dilemmas when summoned by retired diplomat Sir Christopher “Kit” Probyn at his Cornish manor. As Toby grapples with issues of conscience and loyalty, the narrative raises profound questions about the cost of silence in the face of wrongdoing.
