When Harry Jones discovers that former friend Zac Kravitz's life is in danger, a debt of honour sends him on a perilous rescue mission to Ta'argistan, a mountainous and landlocked former Soviet republic bordering Russia, China and Afghanistan. Muscling his way onto a delegation of MPs who happen to be paying the state a visit, Harry finds an unlikely ally in the stubbornly independent Martha, and together they devise a plan to break Zac out of the grim prison Bodima. But when the attempt backfires and he finds himself stuck in prison in Zac's place, little by little Harry realises that all is not as it seemed and that he has been lured into a web of international conspiracy.

Review:

"If you haven't picked up a Michael Dobbs novel in a while you should . . . He has skillfully carved out a second career for himself as a master of the international thriller, juggling a variety of combustible elements on a global stage." —Daily Express

"The Harry Brown series has been a big hit in England and could be the same here if word spreads." —Booklist
