What this book is about
A crowded passenger ferry on the River Thames is ripped apart by an explosion, killing dozens of innocent people. Thomas Pitt must investigate a bombing attack so audacious and well-planned that it had to come from deep within the shadows of international espionage. The twenty-ninth Thomas Pitt novel takes the series to its most geopolitically ambitious territory, connecting London's streets to the crumbling Ottoman Empire.
