A sudden family death and an old nemesis bring retired agent Mac Dekker in from the cold in this alpine thriller from New York Times bestselling author Christopher Reich.

Robbie Steinhardt lives a peaceful life. A fixture of his small alpine village, he tends cattle, minds his own business, and doesn’t dwell on his former life and the family and lover he left behind—back when he was Mac Dekker, CIA.

But when he learns his son Will died following in his footsteps, he needs answers. What mission took Will up into the alpine heights, and why is Ilya Ivashka on the same trail? Ilya—his close friend, his rival in love. Ilya, who framed Mac for treason and sent him into hiding.

Wiping away the years, Mac returns to the field to find the secrets Will hid and finds himself facing the Herculean task of stopping a terrorist plot that threatens thousands. But in a field of double agents, who can he trust?

“Another winner from a consistently satisfying writer.”—Booklist

What I liked most…

The story line was excellent and the vocalist did a great job of reading the story.

The book cover says it all!

Interesting plot with a lot of twists and turns. At the heart love of a women tares through the fibre of a life time friendship.

Another great Christopher Reich story!

I’m familiar with Switzerland and Zermatt. I loved being transported back there through this story.

First time Reader of Reich

Great story. Well written and well read. Since this is part of a series I will definitely read on.

Very Enjoyable Romp Through Switzerland

Very well done and fun to listen to. My wife and I zipped through this book and enjoyed all of it. Gotta love Mac Dekker - someone who wants to stay out of the limelight (and even out of sight), but all of that changes when he gets word that something happened to his son - and then it's no holds barred. The author must have spent time in Switzerland - as his descriptions could only have been written by someone who is/was very familiar with the surroundings. Good story, Good Narration, Good overall. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fast moving action stories. We especially liked that there was no gratuitous violence.
