The man who can't feel fear is back, in a race against time to find the woman who knows a secret that could take down the world as we know it.

When a shocking murder and abduction on the streets of London leads investigators to him, Ben Koenig has no idea at first why the highest echelons of the CIA would need his help. But then he realises he knows the woman who carried out the killings. Ten years earlier, without being told why, he was tasked with helping her disappear.
Far from being a deranged killer, she is the gatekeeper of a secret that could take down the West, so for years she has been in hiding. Until now.

And if she has resurfaced, the danger may be closer and more terrifying than anyone can imagine.

So Ben Koenig has to find her before it's too late. But Ben suffers from a syndrome which means he can't feel fear. He doesn't always know when he should walk away, or when he's leading others into danger . . .

Fast, brutal and smart, the second book in the Sunday Times bestselling Ben Koenig series is a pulse-raising, adrenaline-filled rollercoaster featuring ruthless killers, hard choices - and one fearless man . . .

'An absolute white-knuckle ride of a book. Fingernail-chewingly tense, lightning paced and as hard-edged as Koenig's Fairburn-Sykes dagger. Just brilliant.' Neil Lancaster, bestselling author of the Tom Novak and Max Craigie series

''Koenig's acerbic wit plays well, bringing lightness to a book riddled with graphic murders. Fans of complex thrillers with an intriguing antihero will enjoy Craven's latest Koenig adventure.' Booklist

'Comparisons to Lee Child's Jack Reacher character will be inevitable, but MW Craven comfortably manages to outreach Reacher in this viscerally exciting and extremely violent thriller.' Sunday Independent (Ireland)

'Bloody brilliant, and brilliantly bloody! Every time another mysterious drifter hero arrives, comparisons are made with Lee Child's iconic Jack Reacher. Well, this time, they've got it right. Not only is MW Craven's fearless - and I mean that quite literally - former US Marshal, Ben Koenig, as effective and analytical as Reacher in a tight corner, but Craven's effortlessly spare narrative, clever construction, and laconic wit make this thriller utterly impossible to put down. Do NOT pick up this book at bedtime and expect to be up bright and early the next morning - it's that addictive. You have been warned!' Zoë Sharp, author of the Charlie Fox crime thrillers
