Description

MI6 has trained him to find a man who took everything from him. They have their own reasons, but he has only one: to discover why the brother he trusted betrayed him.
Conor McBride is a newly trained operative with skills he never wanted to learn, but he needs all of them for a dangerous mission that leads from the tumultuous streets of Mumbai to the snowy mountains of Kashmir. He's chasing a criminal he knows all too well - his own brother - racing to give him one last shot at redemption before it's too late.

When a British intelligence officer shows up on his farm to deliver this message, Conor McBride doesn't trust the man, or the motives that brought MI6 to the west coast of Kerry on a mission to recruit an Irishman. The elegant stranger's summons is hard to resist, though. It promises the solution to a mystery that still haunts him, no matter how hard he's tried to forget it.

Before he lost it all five years earlier, Conor thought he had everything - a beautiful fiancé, a bright career in Dublin, and a talent that would carry him far beyond his quiet life in the west of Ireland. Those dreams shattered the day he was arrested, framed for a crime he didn't commit by the man he'd trusted most in the world. Now, he's living with a permanent record, a mountain of debt, and unanswered questions: What turned his respectable, mild-mannered brother into the criminal who betrayed him; and where was he, now?

MI6 says they know, but they're not giving information for free. First, Conor must accept his recruitment for a club he never wanted to join, acquire skills he never wanted to learn, and take an undercover assignment that's tailor-made for him and goes far beyond the mystery he'd hoped to solve.

Assuming a new identity, he disappears into the tumultuous back alleys and bazaars of India, teamed with an American partner who has a sketchy history and his own personal demons. While the mission grows more crooked and treacherous by the day, Conor's own goal is unwavering. On a daring journey from Mumbai to the snow-capped mountains of Kashmir, he's looking for the man who took everything from him. He'll do whatever it takes to get the answers he's looking for, and to give his brother one last shot at redemption… before it's too late.
