Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur 'All warfare is based on deception.' According to General Malik, Pakistan is described by three 'A's: Allah, Army and America. Yet, for one brilliant and educated man, the war isn't based on religious extremism. It's personal. When his family's compound is bombed by a US military drone, Professor Omar swears revenge... Meanwhile, the war of intelligence between Pakistan and the USA still rages, as unofficial organizations designed for covert action on both sides become increasingly wary of the other's presence. Within this tense environment, it is unsurprising that Howard Egan's worst fears about his latest mission are confirmed, and he later disappears without a trace. Sophie Marx - a US officer noted for her beauty and determination - is tasked with investigating the incident, but when several of Egan's 'invisible' agents are murdered, it becomes clear that there are darker forces at work than first realized. Embarking on a game of cat and mouse in Los Angeles, Karachi, and the financial heart of London, Sophie and her team must try to plug the leak before it's too late. However, in a world created and sustained by multiple identities, is the truth really as simple as it seems? Biographie de l'auteur David Ignatius is a prize-winning columnist for the Washington Post, and has been covering the Middle East and the CIA for more than twenty-five years. He is the author of several novels, the two most recent being Body of Lies and The Increment.
