Summary

Charles Warren has dedicated his legal career to aiding people in financial straits. In his newest case, helping a beautiful young widow find the money missing from her late husband's investment accounts, Charlie recognizes a familiar scheme - one that echoes the con job that targeted his own widowed mother many years before, and that led him, as a teenager, to commit a crime of retribution that still weighs on his conscience.


Within hours of starting his investigation, he is followed, shot at and has his briefcase stolen. As Charlie continues to pursue answers, he quickly becomes too entangled in the web of fraud, betrayal and career criminals surrounding the theft to escape its deadly snare.


A nail-biting tale of conspiracy and pursuit from Thomas Perry, Pro Bono will have readers looking over their shoulders as constantly as they keep turning pages.
Available since: 08/07/2025.
Print length: 368 pages.

    Learn the secret – or die trying 
Has ex-SAS soldier Ben Hope finally got out of his depth? 
That’s the question Ben faces when the hunt for a missing girl takes him to China. He’s a stranger in a strange land – but he’s also the victim’s only hope. To make things worse, she’s almost family. 
As the pressure mounts, so does the gruesome death toll. With ruthless enemies in pursuit and an unlikely alliance with an enigmatic detective his only lifeline, Ben realises that this situation is far more explosive than even he’d bargained for. Suddenly it’s no longer just the missing girl’s fate depending on him. 
At the heart of the mystery lies an ancient secret dating back to China’s first emperor and the legendary Terracotta Army – a secret that people will still kill for, millennia later. Ben Hope has never turned his back on those in need, and he’s no stranger to tough odds. But can he survive long enough to discover the truth – and is he ready for the consequences? 
In this top, best-selling novel of the action series, ex-SAS soldier Ben Hope, now a private investigator, finds himself in the heart of an espionage adventure. The suspense of the story is as explosive as the war he once fought in, making this sequel a Sunday Times bestselling book. 
For fans of Andy McDermott (The Sacred Vault), Matthew Reilly (Cobalt Blue), Tom Wood (Blood Debt), David Baldacci (The Edge), JD Kirk (A Dead Man Walking), and James Rollins (Tides of Fire)
