Reviews

[Lanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hugh Merryck, having made a mistake that had tragic consequences, attempts to redeem himself by accepting an assignment outside official channels.

With enough intrigue, deception, double-crosses and romance to hold the reader's interest, this is a diverting espionage thriller.
