About this ebook
A wanted man swaps identities with a mysterious stranger in this fast-paced international thriller cowritten by the acclaimed screenwriter of Safe House.
Kyle West used to work for a billionaire government contractor. Now he's a wanted man hiding out in Cambodia. Ever since false charges were filed against him, Kyle's been living on borrowed time. So when a stranger walks into his favorite cafè and offers to swap passports, Kyle can't believe his luck.
Julian Robinson looks so much like Kyle it's almost unreal, and he seems in every way the yin to Kyle's yang: self-assured, rich and charismatic. Traveling on business, Robinson needs Kyle's passport to get to Africa, where a lucrative deal awaits. Kyle needs Robinson's passport to flee Cambodia. The swap seems almost too good to be true. Unfortunately for Kyle, it is.
Suddenly Kyle finds himself pursued by Russian oligarchs, Chinese operatives, the CIA, and a beautiful woman trained to kill—all because Robinson certainly isn't who he seemed. And time is running out for Kyle to discover the truth behind his new identity.
"Excellent . . . [a] rare suspense novel that will genuinely surprise jaded genre readers." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
