About this audiobook
In the feeble light of a London winter, Joe Tiplady walks his dog in the snow. He is not alone. Two men are tracking him, as is a woman with wolf eyes. Soon Joe will find himself caught in a storm of violence and retribution that he does not yet understand.
Around the world, a chain of events is in motion that will make Joe a priceless target. A retired Soviet general hunts for his missing daughter after a series of brutal murders. A ruthless assassin loses something so precious he will do anything to get it back. And in the mountains of Utah, a brilliant ex-CIA chief wrestles with his religion.
In the shadow of them all lies Zoba, strongman ruler of Russia and puppet-master of the world’s darkest operatives. Can Joe save himself from this dangerous web of power and revenge? Where can he run when there’s nowhere left to hide?
Please note: this book contains strong language and scenes of torture.
John Sweeney
John Sweeney is a writer and journalist who, while working for the BBC, has challenged both Donald Trump over his association with a Russian-born gangster—Trump walked out on him—and Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine. Sweeney became a YouTube sensation in 2007, when, while filming ‘Scientology and Me’ for Panorama, he lost his temper with Tommy Davis, a senior member of the Church of Scientology. As a reporter, first for the Observer and then for the BBC, Sweeney has covered wars and chaos in more than eighty countries and been undercover to a number of tyrannies, including Chechnya, North Korea and Zimbabwe. He has helped free seven people falsely convicted of killing their babies, starting with Sally Clark and Angela Cannings. Over the course of his career, John has won an Emmy, two Royal Television Society Awards, a Sony Gold Award, a What the Papers Say Journalist of the Year Award, an Amnesty International Award and the Paul Foot Award. Sweeney’s first novel, Elephant Moon, was published to much acclaim in 2012. His hobby is annoying the Church of Scientology.
