In 1993, Barbara Bishop was a young, ambitious intelligence officer, honing her skills amidst the chaos of the Bosnian Civil War. But a single, life-changing event would forever alter her path.
Ten years later, now more seasoned but still haunted by her past, Barbara finds herself in post-invasion Iraq, chasing an elusive Al-Qaeda insurgent known as “Juba the Baghdad Sniper.”
Teaming up with Eric Scott-Douglas, a colleague from her Bosnia days, who is now at Defence Intelligence in London, Barbara begins to unravel the intricate web leading to her target. With the most advanced intelligence-gathering apparatus at her disposal, and a British SAS troop ready for action, she meticulously hunts Juba through Baghdad’s Triangle of Death, navigating one of the most dangerous battlegrounds on Earth.
As the pieces fall into place, Barbara makes a chilling discovery: Juba is no mere sniper. A high-ranking Al-Qaeda leader, he is also a shadow from her past—her nemesis from Bosnia. What began as a mission of duty has now become a deeply personal quest for revenge.
This gripping thriller brings back the Boss, Barnes and the crack team from Scott Leigh’s sensational debut novel, Closer to Paradise.
