About this item

'I was transported back to the heyday of spy fiction and reminded of the best of le Carré, Deighton, and Forsyth' - Christopher Reich, author of Rules of Deception Hailed as "the beginning of a classic series that's sure to be a huge hit" (Gayle Lynds), Free Agent is an intense and relentlessly paced spy thriller that introduces an unforgettable new hero to the canon of espionage literature. In June 1945, Paul Dark, a young British agent, joined his father on a mission to hunt down and execute Nazi war criminals. Twenty-five years later, a defecting KGB officer turns up in Nigeria, and Dark realizes that everything he thought he knew about the 1945 operation, about its repercussions and about Anna - the woman he fell in love with during his assignment - was a lie.
