β¦ Synopsis
The game of espionage catches up to everyone in the end. Now, in Greg Rucka's sensational new Queen & Country thriller, the world's most lethal woman embarks on one final and all-too-likely fatal mission.
For nearly a decade Tara Chace has been Britain's top covert agent. But Chace is past her expiration date. Her body hurts. Her nerves are scrambled. She's ready for a desk job, the quiet role of mentor to a new generation of special operations officers. But before her replacement can be chosen, there's one last job for Queen and country . . . and it may be the last thing she does. Ever.
The assignment begins with an enigmatic message from Iran--a message made all the more perplexing not just by its cryptic code but by its apparent dispatcher. But what if the long-dormant cipher is a trap meant to entice Iran's enemies into the open? There's only one way to find out--and only one agent who can do it: Tara Chace.
Soon Chace is on the ground in Tehran...
