Together, the five know every secret - the truth behind every government lie, conspiracy theory and cover up.

But not everyone should be trusted, especially when they each have secrets of their own they'll do anything to protect... ‘For the addicts of adrenaline-fuelled twisty rides' — PETER JAMES © John Marrs 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
