Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover The moment I heard how McAra died I should have walked away. I see that now
A body washes up on the deserted coastline of America s most exclusive holiday retreat. But it s no open-and-shut case of suicide. The death of Robert McAra is just the first piece of the jigsaw in an extraordinary plot that will shake the very foundations of international security.
For McAra was a man who knew too much. As ghostwriter to one of the most controversial men on the planet - Britain s former prime minster, holed up in a remote ocean-front house to finish his memoirs he stumbled across secrets which cost him his life.
When a new ghostwriter is sent out to rescue the project it could be the opportunity of a lifetime. Or the start of a deadly assignment propelled by deception and intrigue from which there will be no escape
