A counterterrorist operation, code-named Wildlife, is being mounted on the British crown colony of Gibraltar. Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist arms buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office minister, a private defence contractor who is also his bosom friend, and a shady American CIA operative of the evangelical far right. So delicate is the operation that even the ministerâs private secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it.Â
Three years later, a disgraced special forces soldier delivers a message from the dead. Was Operation Wildlife the success it was cracked up to beâor a human tragedy that was ruthlessly covered up? Summoned by Sir Christopher âKitâ Probyn, retired British diplomat, to his decaying Cornish manor house and closely observed by Kitâs daughter, Emily, Toby must choose between his conscience and duty to his service. If the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing, how can he keep silent?
