THE BREATHTAKING NEW ADVENTURE FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR

‘Deadly conspiracies, bone-crunching action and a tormented hero with a heart . . . packs a real punch’ Andy McDermott

A BRUTAL MURDER. A HORRIFYING SECRET.
ONLY BEN CAN EXPOSE THE TRUTH.

A lost, aimless and hard-drinking Ben Hope has wandered back to his old haunt in Ireland. The ex-SAS soldier is searching for peace, but trouble soon appears when Kirsten Hall, a young journalist, is brutally murdered right in front of him. Unable to prevent it, Ben is driven by guilt to hunt down the killers. All he has to go on is a handful of clues from Kirsten’s research – but how can the journals of Lady Stamford, the wife of an English lord during the time of the Irish Great Famine, have put Kirsten in mortal danger?

Ben’s quest for the truth leads him across the world and finally to Oklahoma, USA, where a deadly secret awaits. What connects the journals, a wealthy American politician and an intrigue surrounding the Irish famine?

What Ben uncovers is a shocking historical conspiracy linked to the deaths of some two million people: a veritable holocaust that time has all but forgotten. Those who are still profiting from the lies and corruption of the time, and who are ready to kill anyone to protect their secret, are about to pay...

The Ben Hope series is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson. Join the millions of readers who get breathless with anticipation when the countdown to a new Ben Hope thriller begins...

Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the tenth book in the series.

Ratings and reviews

Another enjoyable adventure with Ben Hope. It was nice to see the vulnerable side of this hero but he came back more badass than ever at the end, quite literally a 1 man army. It was a good pace like the other books in the series and I got through the 300+ pages very quickly. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Not my favourite book. The story is not as tight as some as the others and drifted a little too far in places. Still packed full of action, but not as much suspense maybe - I can't put my finger on it! The historical aspect of it was as fascinating as ever, especially as I had no prior knowledge of the Irish famine/starvation! Looking forward to many more adventures of Ben Hope!!

A story based around the irish potato famine didn't sound very interesting but there are quite a few twists and turns to this book, as you would expect. A great read from start to finish.
