From the author of the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling and Edgar Award-winning THE EXPATS, an elegant and riveting espionage thriller. In New York, literary agent Isabel Reed is reading frantically, turning the pages breathlessly. The manuscript - printed out, hand-delivered and totally anonymous - is full of shocking revelations and disturbing truths. This is what she's been waiting for her entire career - a book that will change the world. When veteran CIA station chief Hayden Gray hears of this book - and the secret that it holds - he will stop at nothing to keep it from seeing the light of day.
