Summary

When a Russian hit team catches up with Roman Tobinskiy, political opponent of Moscow and former FSB colleague of Alexander Litvinenko (murdered by poloniumnbsp; poisoning in 2006), it's an easy kill; he's lying helpless in anbsp;hospital bed.nbsp; They realise too late that in an adjacent room is Clare Jardine, ex-MI6 officer, recovering from wounds while saving Harry Tate's life.nbsp;

When Clare goes on the run, Harry is orderednbsp;to track her down before the Russians reach her. It'snbsp;one of his toughest challenges yet. For not only is Clare as adept at covering her tracks as Harry is himself, butnbsp;the Russians are not the only ones chasing her.nbsp;

Harry is about to come up against an old enemy from his past. And if he is to save Clare's life - as she saved his - he must seek help from a most unlikely source.

Publisher's Weekly Review

Magson's exciting fifth Harry Tate thriller pits the former MI5 operative against a pair of Russian assassins gunning for his friend Clare Jardine, an ex-MI6 agent who was shot while saving Harry in 2012's Retribution. After an attempt on her life while she was recovering from her gunshot wounds in a London hospital, Clare goes underground. The extremely competent former agent is angry at just about everyone, except her girlfriend, Katya Balenkova, an officer in the Russian Federal Protective Service. Complicating Harry's efforts to find Clare and protect her from the Russians is traitor George Henry Paulton, once an operations director for MI5 and now on that agency's and MI6's "seek and detain" lists. Focused on action and tradecraft, this straightforward entry bypasses the usual cross, double-cross, and triple-cross of most spy fiction as it builds to a highly satisfying conclusion in respect to turncoat Paulton.
