"I was transported back to the heyday of spy fiction and . . . the best of le Carré, Deighton, and Forsyth."  -Christopher Reich, author of Rules of Deception   Hailed as "the beginning of a classic series that's sure to be a huge hit" (Gayle Lynds), Free Agent is an intense and relentlessly paced spy thriller that introduces an unforgettable new hero to the canon of espionage literature.  In June 1945, Paul Dark, a young MI6 recruit, joined his legendary agent father on a mission to hunt down and execute Nazi war criminals. Twenty-five years later, a defecting KGB officer turns up in Nigeria, leading Dark to the sudden realization that everything he thought he knew about the 1945 operation, about its repercussions and about Anna- the woman he fell in love with during his assignment-was a lie. Now Dark is suspected of being a double agent and must flee to Nigeria to find, confront, and, if necessary, kill the only woman he has ever loved.
