Kyd's Game
"Life and death shadow each other to the last page." Peter Watt, author of the Frontier series
Neil Kyd, accused of assassinating a Russian presidential candidate, hunted by Russian Special Forces, has only one thing on his mind, saving his daughter's life.
Kyd has done everything possible to help his terminally ill daughter. He's out of options when he's recalled by the Agency and offered a special job, a quick 'in and out' assignment to retrieve a video disk from an ex-girlfriend in Moscow. If he accepts, the Agency will place his daughter into a cutting-edge medical program that will give her a chance. He agrees.
A cross between John le Carre's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley. Kyd's Game will keep you on the edge of your seat.
