In the newest international thrill ride from New York
Times-bestselling author Ridley Pearson, John Knox and Grace
Chu, the incomparable and often incompatible duo, team up
again, this time in the exotic “city between two worlds,”
Istanbul.
What’s it like to see yourself in a picture you never knew
was taken?
John Knox is an expert at surveillance and delicate,
international dealings. So he is understandably thrown when
David “Sarge” Dulwich, his contact at Rutherford Risk, hands
him a photo of a transaction he recently facilitated in the
Middle East. More curious to him, he’s shown that photo
while in the Red Room, the private security company’s highly
secure underground bunker, where eavesdropping is impossible
and privacy ensured. Why all the cloak-and-dagger?
Knox is pressured into accepting a job as an art broker in
the mysterious Istanbul, a city situated on two continents
where East meets West and Islam meets Christianity. It is a
melting pot of spies, terrorists, and conflicting interests.
Teamed with smart, quick, and fearless Grace Chu, Knox must
navigate a murky operation, the only goal of which is to
spend five minutes in the proximity of a man they’ve never
met. Why? What can it possibly matter? And why are so many
others bound and determined to see it never happens—at any
cost?
