'Craven effectively mixes the unvarnished brutality and high body count of Lee Child with the black humor of Mick Herron . With style, wit, and plot twists to spare, he cements this series as a must-read' Publishers Weekly, starred review

The man who can't feel fear is back, in a race against time to find the woman who knows a secret that could take down the world as we know it.

When a shocking murder and abduction on the streets of London leads investigators to him, Ben Koenig has no idea at first why the highest echelons of the CIA would need his help. But then he realises he knows the woman who carried out the killings. Ten years earlier, without being told why, he was tasked with helping her disappear.
Far from being a deranged killer, she is the gatekeeper of a secret that could take down the West, so for years she has been in hiding. Until now.

And if she has resurfaced, the danger may be closer and more terrifying than anyone can imagine.

So Ben Koenig has to find her before it's too late. But Ben suffers from a syndrome which means he can't feel fear. He doesn't always know when he should walk away, or when he's leading others into danger . . .

Fast, brutal and smart, the second book in the Sunday Times bestselling Ben Koenig series is a pulse-raising, adrenaline-filled rollercoaster featuring ruthless killers, hard choices - and one fearless man . . .

'An absolute white-knuckle ride of a book. Fingernail-chewingly tense, lightning paced and as hard-edged as Koenig's Fairburn-Sykes dagger. Just brilliant.' Neil Lancaster, bestselling author of the Tom Novak and Max Craigie series

''Koenig's acerbic wit plays well, bringing lightness to a book riddled with graphic murders. Fans of complex thrillers with an intriguing antihero will enjoy Craven's latest Koenig adventure.' Booklist
