The story sees Gabriel Dax, the travel writer turned reluctant spy, drawn back into the shadows under the influence of his MI6 handler. Sent to Guatemala under the guise of covering a tense presidential election, Gabriel soon finds himself entangled in a deadly web where the Mafia and the CIA pull the strings. Political unrest escalates into black-ops warfare, and just as Gabriel attempts to escape, the trail leads him to West Berlin and a chilling revelation: a plot to assassinate President John F.

As loyalties blur and danger closes in, Dax must navigate a treacherous path of deception and peril, where every decision could be fatal. Boyd delivers a masterclass in suspense, weaving political drama, historical intrigue, and the irresistible pull of spy craft into a gripping narrative.
