Then, on a Tuesday in late September, a black Audi parks under the lime trees outside the harbour. By mid-morning he is at a payphone in Preveza, dialling a London number he has not dialled in over a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Greer is dead.

A traitor who has compromised four operations across six years. A traitor who has now killed to protect himself. Greer had narrowed his suspects to four.

From a windowless storage cupboard in Vauxhall Cross to a coffee house in Vienna's Eighth District, from a Roman restaurant in plain view of a Russian handler to a salt-edged cottage on the Dorset coast, he follows the money, the corridor glances, the small specific lies - against the conviction that the man who killed Thomas Greer is, right now, somewhere on the upper floors of his own building, having coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat he uncovers is not a single betrayal but the patient architecture of something much larger - and the discovery will cost him more than he is ready to pay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of John le Carré, Mick Herron, Charles Cumming, and Daniel Silva.
