"Here is Will Rhodes: globe-trotting journalist, barely solvent, living in a crumbling house with a crumbling marriage, his idealism giving way to disillusionment, to the increasing worry that he's living the wrong life, with the wrong person. One night in Argentina, a provocative woman makes Will an offer that he can't resist, then a very different offer that he can't refuse. Will is suddenly plucked from his New York offices at Travelers magazine, thrust into the treacherous world of international intrigue, of secret training facilities and next-generation surveillance, of shady expats in the Pyrenees and oligarch parties on Mediterranean mega-yachts. Will starts asking dangerous questions--about missing colleagues and incomplete archives, about disappearing ex-spies--and soon finds himself fleeing for his life on a frantic race through the menacing late-night streets of Dublin and Barcelona to a midnight raid on an elegant Paris mansion and an isolated cabin perched on a desolate cliff in Iceland. It becomes clear that nothing about Will's life was ever ordinary. That the network of deception ensnaring him is part of an immense conspiracy with complex origins in World War II and global implications today. That no one is who they appear to be--and that the people closest to Will may pose the greatest threat of all." --, Container
