Five years after witnessing murder on the Aegean island of Paros, Alistair Haston receives a call from a man claiming to be his son’s grandfather, but Alistair has no knowledge of a son….until now.
Desperate to learn more, he travels to Athens, but his pursuit is intercepted when MI6 intervenes, coercing him into a high-stakes espionage mission – to infiltrate a suspected mafia operation intent on abducting his son. As the chase unravels across the Mediterranean, Alistair has a chilling revelation, could the spectre of his past be returning to taunt him? Could the answer lie in that fateful, deadly summer on Paros five years ago?
