About the Book: Dan Hendricks is a man in need of a lifeline. A former CIA operative, he is now an agent for hire by foreign powers on the hunt for dangerous fugitives. It’s a lethal world at the best of times, and Dan knows his number is almost up. His next job could be his last—and his next job is his biggest yet.
The target sounds trackable enough: Jacques Fillon, who gave up his life trying to save a fellow passenger following a bus crash in northern Sweden. But the man was something of an enigma in this rural community, and his death exposes his greatest secret: Jacques Fillon never existed at all.
Dan is tasked with uncovering Fillon’s true identity—but can he do so before his own past catches up with him?

The plot is captivating. A former CIA employee runs against time to save his own life. Time is short and he needs to put down a whole organization to be able to have his life back. In order to do that, he finds an unexpected help on Inger, a swedish girl who is designated to look after him during his investigations in Sweden of a case that might help his cause.
I recommend this book to the permanent library of all readers who enjoy a very well written thriller. But be aware that you might miss your bedtime deadline.
