Silencer
by Andy McNab (Random House Struik, R250)
In 1993 Nick Stone and a specialist surveillance team worked deep undercover in Colombia.
Their mission was to locate and terminate the boss of the world’s most murderous drugs cartel.
To do this, Nick had to reveal his face. It was a risk he was happy to take, since the only person who would see it, would be the person he killed.
Or so he thought.
Nineteen years later, Nick is in Moscow: semi-retired, semi-married; a devoted father to his newborn son.
But then his son falls dangerously ill and the doctor who saves him is under threat.
Nick once again finds his cover is being threatened.
He will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening as he is pushed into a more brutal world than he thought he left behind.
