Internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz's third James Bond
novel, after Forever and a Day.
It is M's funeral. One man is missing from the graveside: the traitor
who pulled the trigger and who is now in custody, accused of M's
murder--James Bond.
Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh agents want to use the
British spy in an operation that will change the balance of world power.
Bond is smuggled into the lion's den--but whose orders is he following,
and will he obey them when the moment of truth arrives?
In a mission where treachery is all around and one false move means
death, Bond must grapple with the darkest questions about himself. But
not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.
