BOX 88

The fourth book in Charles Cumming''s gripping espionage series surrounding BOX 88 - a covert intelligence service operating without government oversight. In Stockholm, BOX 88 intelligence chief Lachlan Kite has barely finished dealing with the lone gunman shot dead on the doorstep when his former girlfriend, Martha Raine, comes knocking. Her 24-year-old son, Max, has disappeared and Martha is desperate to track him down. Together with the BOX 88 team, Lachlan discovers Max is in a relationship with a woman operating under a false identity, and the young couple have a team of Balkan mercenaries on their tail. As the mission hurtles toward a collision between rival spy networks, Lachlan finds himself at the intersection of his past and his present. To save Max and prevent a geopolitical catastrophe, he must navigate a world where loyalty is fluid, danger is constant, and even BOX 88''s unparalleled reach may not be enough. The very best of modern, edge-of-seat espionage, Charles Cumming''s ICARUS 17 is a masterclass in tension and suspense.
