Meer over het boek

Plato Karsarkis, once a celebrated figure, faces a dramatic fall from grace after being indicted for smuggling Iraqi oil and charged with racketeering and espionage, alongside a potential murder cover-up. As he flees the U.S. ahead of the FBI, the media frenzy escalates. Jack Shepherd, a former American lawyer seeking a quiet life in Bangkok, unexpectedly encounters Karsarkis in a Phuket bar. The fugitive seeks Shepherd’s help to secure a presidential pardon, leveraging his connections to the White House. However, U.S. Marshals are also in Phuket, intent on capturing Karsarkis for trial, and they want Shepherd to assist in their trap. Initially wishing to be left alone, Shepherd's resolve crumbles when he uncovers a disturbing secret that drags him back into the treacherous world he thought he had escaped. The Marshals’ true mission in Phuket is not merely to arrest Karsarkis but to eliminate him. As the stakes rise, Shepherd finds himself entangled in a web of friendship, betrayal, and violence, forcing him to confront his past and the dangerous game unfolding around him.
