Publisher's summary

Action thriller by the classic adventure writer set in Iceland.

The assignment begins with a simple errand – a parcel to deliver. But to Alan Stewart, standing on a deserted road in Iceland with a murdered man at his feet, it looks anything but simple.

"Bagley is a master storyteller." ( Daily Mirror)

Critic reviews

'As long as meticulous craftsmanship and honest entertainment are valued, and as long as action, authenticity, and expertise still make up the strong framework of the good adventure/thriller, Desmond Bagley's books will surely be read.' REGINALD HILL, Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers

'Bagley is a master storyteller.' DAILY MIRROR

'Mr Bagley has no equal at this sort of thing.' SUNDAY MIRROR

‘Unbeatable for sheer gripping excitement’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

Timeless

First Bagley book I have ever read. Loved the Iceland setting, really evokes a feeling for the country to the degree it now makes we want to go there. Classic espionage thriller, great plot and realistic action. Loved the lead characters. Really great narration. Totally recommended!

a trip to Iceland

As always Bagley's vivid descriptions and knowledge of the area pays off in a stellar spy thriller.

Narrator

Could not get past narrator's seemingly forced tone no matter what was going on in the story
