Among them is Constance Courtney, Paul’s mother. As he watches her brutal execution, he knows he must avoid the same fate and fulfil his promise to her—to survive, no matter what.

Racing to Belgium, Luke quickly finds a shadow team of highly trained operatives is there on the hunt. Intervening, he finds himself embroiled in a war between two determined sides—one seeking the truth, the other trying to escape the past, and a war that has already claimed one life and is about to claim more.
