In the gripping conclusion of David Downing's spy series, ex-Secret Service agent Jack McColl finds himself in a Russian prison in 1921, harboring deep resentments and heartbreak over his past. Offered a chance to escape his sentence, he embarks on a perilous mission to uncover MI5's involvement in an assassination plot linked to figures he both cares for and despises.
