Legacy of Lies

Former MI6 operative Martin Baxter is drawn back into the dangerous world of espionage when a cryptic leak hints at covert operations run by unnamed secret services. He chases the trail through cities and back alleys, facing mercenaries, double crosses, and traps designed to keep the truth buried.

With time running out, the hunt tests his wits and his conscience as he weighs when to reveal the truth and who to trust. The chase unfolds with a clockwork tension, each step raising the stakes. The tension remains.
