Sinossi

In this classic spy thriller from an Edgar Award–winning author, a journalist goes undercover for British agency Department Z and discovers a conspiracy.  
 
When the sound of gunfire wakes Nigel Murray in the middle of the night, he discovers two gun-wielding strangers and a woman, half-drowned in the well beneath his window. Easily disarming the threat, Murray rescues the woman, only to discover the young beauty is none other than the kidnapped niece of the leader of Canna, a peaceful island in the British Commonwealth now stirring with political unrest. Called in by the elite secret service Department Z to help stop the overthrow of Canna’s government, Murray finds himself caught up in a web of conspiracy and treason, a danger only deepened by his loyalty to the woman whose life is in hands.

He is a connoisseur of secrets, a collector of the impossible, moving unseen through the gilded cages of Nigeria's most corrupt and powerful figures. His targets never see him coming; they only see what he's left behind. 
    This is not about the money. This is about balance. 
    Years ago, a corrupt politician destroyed his family's name and legacy, leaving him with nothing but a burning desire for retribution. Now, he is calling in the debt.
