A breakneck race against time … and an implacable enemy. An anonymous young woman murdered in a run-down hotel, all identifying characteristics dissolved by acid … A father publicly beheaded in the blistering heat of a Saudi Arabian public square … A notorious Syrian biotech expert found eyeless in a Damascus junkyard. Smouldering human remains on a remote mountainside in Afghanistan … A flawless plot to commit an appalling crime against humanity. One path links them all, and only one man can make the journey: Pilgrim. “A big, breathless tale of nonstop suspense.” - The New York Times “The pages fly by ferociously fast. Simply unputdownable.” - Booklist
