A dynamic international political thriller from the acclaimed author of The American Mission. A diplomat deals with the legacy of the wars that devastated the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

Twenty years after the Srebrenica massacre that claimed the life of his friend and colleague, diplomat Eric Petrosian is back in Sarajevo – as the spectre of war once again hangs over the Balkans.

The Bosnian Serb leader, who had for a time been seeking a stable peace, has turned back to his nationalist roots and is threatening to pull Bosnia apart in a bloody struggle for control. Behind him is a shadowy organised crime figure pulling the strings.

As Eric is dragged deeper into the political maelstrom and uncovers a plot of blackmail and ruthless ambition, he is faced with an impossible choice: use the information he's uncovered to achieve atonement for the past, or use it to shape the future.

Perfect for fans of John le Carré, Daniel Silva and Ken Follett.
