'This is a sensational novel...feels like every inch of the real world of espionage' Alex Gerlis, author of Every Spy a Traitor
The thrilling debut from author and former CIA officer I.S. Berry, following an American spy's last dangerous mission.
Shane Collins, a world-weary CIA spy, is ready to come in from the cold. Stationed in Bahrain for his final tour, he's anxious to dispense with his mission - uncovering Iranian support for the insurgency. But then he meets Almaisa, an enigmatic artist, and his eyes are opened to a side of Bahrain most expats never experience, to questions he never thought to ask.
When his trusted informant becomes embroiled in a murder, Collins finds himself drawn deep into the conflict and his romance is upended. In an instant, he's caught in the crosshairs of a revolution. He must navigate a bloody uprising, win Almaisa's love, and uncover the murky border where Bahrain's secrets end and America's begin.
