Undercover cop Grace Flint is the best in the business: ice-cool under pressure, seemingly fearless, driven by a need to put herself into the most dangerous situations. Until an operation to trap big-time money-launderer Frank Harling goes wrong and for the first time Grace is completely at the mercy of a violent criminal. And mercy is not a word in his vocabulary.
After months of surgery, Grace is physically restored to an icy beauty. But her superiors fear that her mind, her personality, must have been irreversibly damaged. So when she insists on returning to duty, placing herself once again directly in harm's way, there are those who are certain that sooner or later she's going to crack.
But Grace is determined to track down the man who almost destroyed her. Even if it means going it alone. Even if it means stepping back into her worst nightmare.
""Flint" is a splendid piece of work, intricately plotted, limpidly narrated and what so many thrillers are not: genuinely thrilling. Grace Flint herself is a wonderful creation, a true heroine for our time." --Benjamin Black, AKA John Banville"Fast-paced, taut and authentically researched." --Frederick Forsyth"A compulsive, edge-of-the-chair, nail-biting, fast-paced, crisply written narrative." --"Los Angeles Times"
Paul Eddy (1944-2009) was a talented and widely respected investigative journalist for the "Sunday Times."
