The brilliant new bestseller from the author of Bravo Two Zero. November 2001. A Zodiac inflatable slips away from a submarine off the North African coast. If he hadnt needed American citizenship so badly, Nick Stone wouldnt have agreed to do this one last job, but the CIAs offer of a new life in the United States, and the chance to share it with Carrie, the woman hes fallen in love with, is one he cannot refuse. The job seems simple enough for a man of his particular skills: infiltrate into the hostile and violent republic of Algeria, kill a money-laundering local businessman, and bring back his severed head to the West. Stone isnt told why the man has to die like this, and he doesnt want to know. He just guesses its got something to do with the democratic worlds fightback after the terrible events of September 11. But as events unfold alarmingly fast, Stone realises that by no means has he been told the full story -- and that in reality the job has only just begun. Then comes the devastating news that Carrie, enraged by his broken promise never to work with the CIA again, has turned her back on him for ever. Operating in the dangerous underworld of the south of France, where al-Qaeda has embarked on a panicked round-up of funds using the ancient banking system of hawalla, Stone is in at the deep end of a very dirty war. In the most daunting mission he has ever undertaken, as one bloody twist leads to another, Stone ultimately finds himself onfronted by the most desperate dilemma a man could ever face.
