Dr. Jonathan Ransom, world-class mountaineer and surgeon
for Doctors Without Borders, is climbing in the Swiss Alps
with his beautiful wife, Emma, when a blizzard sets in. In
their bid to escape the storm, Emma is killed when she
falls into a hidden crevasse.
Twenty-four hours
later, Jonathan receives an envelope addressed to his wife
containing two baggage-claim tickets. Puzzled, he journeys
to a remote railway station only to find himself in a life-
and-death struggle for his wife’s possessions. In the
aftermath of the assault, he discovers that his attackers—
one dead, the other mortally wounded—were, in fact, Swiss
police officers. More frightening still is evidence of an
extraordinary act of betrayal that leaves Jonathan
stunned.
Suddenly the subject of an international
manhunt and the target of a master assassin, Jonathan is
forced on the run. His only chance at survival lies in
uncovering the devastating truth behind the secret his
wife kept from him and in stopping the terrifying
conspiracy that threatens to bring the world to the brink
of annihilation. Step by step, he is drawn deeper into a
world of spies, high-tech weaponry, and global terrorism—a
world where no one is whom they appear to be and where the
end always justifies the means.
Rules of
Deception is a brilliantly conceived, twisting tale of
intrigue and deceit written by the master of the espionage
thriller for the twenty-first century.
