In this brilliantly conceived, jet-fueled thriller, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Reich has boldly redefined the espionage novel for the twenty-first century. Dr. Jonathan Ransom, a surgeon for Doctors Without Borders, is climbing in the Swiss Alps with his wife, Emma, when she falls into a hidden crevasse and dies. Twenty-four hours later, Jonathan receives an envelope addressed to his wife containing two baggage-claim tickets. Puzzled, he journeys to a railway station only to find himself inexplicably pursued by the Swiss police. Suddenly forced on the run, Jonathan's only chance at survival lies in uncovering the devastating truth behind his wife's secret life. Step by step, he is drawn deeper into a world of spies, high-tech weaponry, and global terrorism — a world where no one is who they appear to be and where the end always justifies the means.
