Description
SAS captain, Alex, returns from a mission in Sierra Leone on orders to find that someone has been murdering MI5 officers. It becomes clear that the killer is SAS trained - an insider. Under strictest secrecy, Alex is ordered to track down and eliminate the killer, and is assigned an MI5 officer - the attractive but abrasive Tracy Weaver.
Alex becomes almost certain the killer is a skillful soldier codenamed The Watchman... but why was he slaughtering the upper ranks of the security services? The bitter truth is, there is no good and evil in Intelligence wars, only winners and losers...
Chris Ryan was awarded the Military Medal for covering 188 miles in 7 days in sub-zero temperatures with no food and little water, alone: an astonishing feat for the SAS in the Gulf War. After Ryan left the SAS, he turned to writing. His novels are best-sellers.
