The explosive new James Bond novel from the no.1 bestselling author of Trigger Mortis and Forever and a Day.
It is M's funeral. One man is missing from the graveside- the traitor James Bond, in custody accused of M's murder.
Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh and Stasi agents now want to use their lethal British spy against a target whose assassination will change history. Bond is smuggled into the lion's den to receive his orders - but whose orders is he following, and what will he do when the time comes to pull the trigger?
In a mission where one false move means death, Bond must also grapple with the darkest questions about himself - but not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.
