Ex-MI5 Harry Tate is back
“Harry. Please make Grosvenor Square tomorrow 18.30. Urgent. Remember Mirovica.”
An atrocity that allegedly took place under Harry’s watch in Kosovo in 1999 returns to haunt him when he receives a summons from an old UN contact. A lone assassin is tracking down all those who were present that fateful night, despatching his victims with cold, skilful efficiency. Who is he and why does he want revenge?
If he is to uncover the identity of this ruthless killer and stay alive in the process, Harry must uncover what really happened in Mirovica back in 1999.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this standout thriller, Magson's fourth featuring Harry Tate (after 2012's Deception), the former MI5 agent pursues a deadly terrorist, Kassim, who comes out of the remote hills of Afghanistan in 2012 and starts killing members of the KFOR team that Harry led in Mitrovica, Kosovo, in 1999. One night back then, Harry and his men took refuge in a container depot, where that same night a local 14-year-old girl was raped and killed. Circumstantial evidence suggests the culprit was a U.N. soldier. A high-ranking U.N. security official Harry knows hires him to warn the surviving members of the team and to hunt down the assassin who's seeking revenge for the girl's death. Harry and computer whiz pal Rik Ferris jet around the world, always arriving just a little too late to prevent another murder. There's plenty of action, but the thrill is following Harry's agile mind as he figures out the who, what, where, and why of these revenge killings. Think le Carr and Deighton rather than Thor and Flynn.
