A Crown agent is dead.

Eve Black has been sent to Port Aurel to take Brown’s place, find what he uncovered and draw his killers into the open.

On the sunlit Gallic coast, the trail leads into the glittering world of a powerful industrialist, where ministers trade favours, secrets change hands and a private yacht holds the key to something far more dangerous than murder. But every answer brings Eve closer to a conspiracy capable of shattering the balance of power.

The Crown does not care how she succeeds.

Neither does Eve.

For fans of Ian Fleming and Len Deighton, and readers of classic spy and espionage novels. A Cold War spy thriller built around an intelligence operation that spirals into a deadly conspiracy, with a female spy every bit as ruthless as the people she hunts.
