Ex-MI6 analyst Oliver Jardine thought he'd left the world of espionage behind. But when a dissident Venezuelan General turns up on his doorstep in Spain, he's thrust back into a volatile world of geopolitics, international intrigue, and targeted assassination.

With the General due to speak at the UN in the coming days, Jardine agrees to help him travel to Lisbon. Only the dictatorial Venezuelan regime has other ideas.

As they edge closer to the Portuguese capital, will the General make it? Or will his voice be silenced forever?
