High society. Low cunning. High risk.
When a British diplomat’s maverick daughter goes missing in Lisbon, security specialist Peter Craig is tasked with tracking her down before a scandal erupts.
The case soon descends into a web of murder and espionage, with the KGB and the secret police both hot on Craig’s heels, an international incident brewing, and a dangerous case of conflicting loyalties. Will Craig live to regret helping the Embassy save face?
