In this brilliantly conceived, jet-fueled thriller, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Reich has boldly redefined the espionage novel for the twenty-first century. Dr. Jonathan Ransom, a surgeon for Doctors Without Borders, is climbing in the Swiss Alps with his wife, Emma, when she falls into a hidden crevasse and dies. Twenty-four hours later, Jonathan receives an envelope addressed to his wife containing two baggage-claim tickets. Puzzled, he journeys to a railway station only to find himself inexplicably pursued by the Swiss police. Suddenly forced on the run, Jonathan`s only chance at survival lies in uncovering the devastating truth behind his wife`s secret life. Step by step, he is drawn deeper into a world of spies, high-tech weaponry, and global terrorism - a world where no one is who they appear to be and where the end always justifies the means.
