The game of espionage catches up to everyone in the end. Now, in Greg Rucka's sensational new Queen & Country thriller, the world's most lethal woman embarks on one final and all-too-likely fatal mission.
For nearly a decade Tara Chace has been Britain's top covert agent. But Chace is past her expiration date. Her body hurts. Her nerves are scrambled.

But what if the long-dormant cipher is a trap meant to entice Iran's enemies into the open? There's only one way to find out--and only one agent who can do it: Tara Chace.
Soon Chace is on the ground in Tehran...
