The Last Run: A Queen & Country Novel

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. She€s ready for a desk job, the quiet role of mentor to a new generation of special operations officers. But before her replacement can be chosen, there€s one last job for Queen and country . . . and it may be the last thing she does. Ever.

The assignment begins with an enigmatic message from Iran€"a message made all the more perplexing not just by its cryptic code but by its apparent dispatcher. 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 leading an extraction team toward a high-profile defector. But obtaining him is one thing, getting him out of the country will be another. For with the likelihood of a double cross at every turn, Chace knows that chaos can erupt in a heartbeat. And when it does, it€s far worse than even she expects.

Now, if she€s to have a future, Chace must survive any way she can. And that means one thing hasn€t changed: Tara Chace is never the hunted. She€s always the hunter.
