"In this relentlessly propulsive thriller from National Geographic's founder of Special Investigations, a journalist doubling as a CIA spy discovers he has been weaponized in a global game of espionage. Tom Klay is a celebrated wildlife crime reporter for the esteemed magazine The Sovereign. But Klay is not just a journalist. His investigative reporting is cover for a more dangerous job: CIA agent. Klay's Sovereign press credentials make him a perfect spy--able to travel the globe, engage both politicians and warlords, and openly record what he sees. When he needs help, the Agency provides it to him, and asks little in return. But while on assignment in Kenya, Klay is attacked and his closest friend is murdered. Soon Klay's carefully constructed double life unravels as his ambition turns to revenge. The CIA has an answer. Klay is offered a devil's bargain to capture the man who killed his friend by infilitrating the offices of a woman he once loved, South Africa's recently appointed special prosecutor, Hungry Khoza. But Klay soon discovers that he and Hungry are part of a larger, more lethal game--one that involves a ruthless mercenary and a global superpower. The deeper he digs, the more Klay realizes that everything he thought he knew about his work may have been a lie, and his sworn enemy may be his only ally. In this riveting, timely thriller, the lines between good and evil blur, and absolutely nothing is as it seems"--, Provided by publisher
