Cronos Rising

Read Cronos Rising Storyline:

John Purkiss, the Ratcatcher, returns in book 5 of the bestselling action thriller seriesOn a grey morning in October, a Turkish Airlines flight explodes over Germany minutes after taking off from Frankfurt Airport. All 184 passengers are killed. As the world reacts with outrage to this act of terrorism, John Purkiss, hunter of rogue spies, finds himself responding in a more personal way. His employer, mentor, and friend, Quentin Vale, was on board the flight... Cut off from his usual support system, Purkiss goes on the run, the target of a deadly assassin known as the Ferryman who will stop at nothing to achieve his aim. With assistance from his old ally, the damaged and unstable Tony Kendrick, and two unexpected - and possibly untrustworthy - other sources, Purkiss uncovers a terrifying conspiracy called Cronos, which is intertwined inseparably with Purkiss's own past, and which leads him via the Cycladean islands to Athens for a last, nerve-shredding showdown. Spanning an entire continent, and three decades of murky history, CRONOS RISING is the latest and most epic adventure so far in the acclaimed John Purkiss espionage series.
