Summary

In his second adventure, Harry Jones is caught in a web of international intrigue, with an old friend as bait and a female scorpion at his side Zac Kravitz has upset someone very important. He has been tortured and cast, barely alive, into an ancient prison deep in the republic of Ta'argistan. Bordering Russia, China, and Afghanistan, and ringed by high mountains, the country is a land of deep snows and still deeper suspicions, and it's about to swallow Zac. But he has a friend. Harry Jones is a former soldier, now a politician, a man of extraordinary skills and an enduring sense of guilt. He owes Zac, and the debt must be repaid, no matter what the cost. Harry is forced to team up with a tough-talking American-born MP, Martha Riley. Theirs is a journey that takes them not only to Ta'argistan but also into their fractured pasts, where they must confront old obsessions. Harry must once again become the man he thought he had left behind many years ago--a desperate, utterly ruthless fighter, ready to eliminate anyone who gets in his way.
