About this ebook
Two countries are brought to the brink of nuclear war in this breathtaking thriller from the author of The American Mission.
Sam Trainor's outspokenness left him marginalised in Washington. Formerly a top South Asia expert in the State Department, Sam's knowledge is now being used in the private sector, but he finds profits-driven consulting work difficult to adjust to.
When Sam stumbles across the transcript of a phone conversation discussing ways to provoke conflict between India and Pakistan, he knows that conversation can't have taken place - because he is having an affair with one of the alleged participants.
Someone is deliberately stoking the simmering conflict between nuclear-armed rivals. To prevent all-out war, Sam must work out the answers in a deadly game where no one, not even his closest colleagues, can be trusted.
