In this fifth electrifying Spycatcher thriller, former Intelligence officer Will Cochrane must solve a seemingly unsolvable problem: How did four international agents working on a top-secret mission die in a safe-house bunker that was locked from the inside?When the Israeli ambassador to France is killed in Paris by an unknown sniper, the Israeli government quickly blames Hamas and demands retribution. They immediately begin planning a massive invasion to obliterate the group once and for all. To avoid an all-out war, U.S. presidential adviser Admiral Tobias Mason, the president, and their counterparts abroad all scramble to assemble a team of agents to find the truth behind the assassination. Meanwhile, a young Palestinian refugee named Safa is pulled from his family and taken to France on a scholarship from the UN. After growing up in the midst of war, he embraces a peaceful life in the West for the first time, and dutifully completes every lesson and mysterious task his guardian puts before him. The agents of the task force work quietly and carefully in an undisclosed location in Beirut, Lebanon, called "Gray Site." But when communication with the team suddenly fails, backup is called in and finds all four men dead in the bunker, locked from the inside.In order to maintain security during an investigation, authorities turn to Will Cochrane. Murder-suicide seems a likely conclusion, but Cochrane doesn't believe it's possible--because a good friend and a highly trusted former colleague, Roger Koenig, was one of the agents who died. And Cochrane now knows there has to be more to this story. To find out what really happened both in the Paris shooting and inside the bunker and to stop a likely escalation into all-out war, Cochrane must use his years of knowledge and experience to unravel the conspiracy shrouding Gray Site. But even he doesn't know what the boy Safa is really doing in France, how their stories will converge--or if either of them will walk away alive.
