Just when he thinks he's done with the covert life, Jack Valentine hears from his old friend Paulo Cassegrande. Embarking on a seemingly straightforward mission to return his friend's daughter from the low-life company she's fallen in with, he soon finds himself embroiled in a far more dangerous scenario - from Manhattan to the searing uplands of Central Mexico, the agenda is drugs, violence and long held hatreds.
Combining all the hardboiled action, powerful characterisation and beautiful prose of his previous Jack Valentine adventure, John Creed has delivered another urgent and compelling thriller.
