Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Dan Carter, his wife Sara and their two children are at Gatwick, about to get on a plane that will take them on their first holiday as a family. Sara has planned the trip in meticulous detail, but at the check-in desk, Dan finds his passport is missing. Exasperated, he tells them to go ahead. He'll catch them up. A few hours later, Dan sees on a newsflash that the plane has gone down over the ocean, and with a single blow his life is shattered. But after the first explosion of grief, the questions start to haunt him. Was it an accident his passport disappeared? Did Sara have an agenda - perhaps even a whole life - he was unaware of? Was he the intended target of a terrorist attack connected to his time as a sniper in Afghanistan or his spell in the security services? And if so, will they try again? Suddenly, it's like old times: alone, with danger on all sides, and instinct and training the only things he can trust. And as the search for answers sets him on a deadly trail of revenge, Dan realises that the truth may be the last thing he wants to find. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
