Liar's Game

Alec de Payns is on the run - and wanted for murder - in the new thriller by the bestselling author of The Frenchman

While recruiting a Russian human source embedded in the shadows of illicit financial networks, French spy Alec de Payns is abruptly pulled from the field. His new mission: exfiltrate a North Korean walk-in from Beijing who claims to know the details of a massive cyberattack which could destroy the world's economy. But before the defector can utter a word, he dies in de Payns' arms on the journey home.

The failure of such a routine job enrages France's new prime minister, who views the covert actions of the DGSE - the French external spy agency - as a political liability. When de Payns' next mission mysteriously collapses, the Company has no choice but to disavow him.

Now exposed, hunted across Southeast Asia, and cut off from official support, de Payns must survive alone, untangle a deadly conspiracy, and protect his family. But in a world of deception, who can he trust? And who is truly pulling the strings in this deadly liar's game?

Based on Jack Beaumont's experiences as a former DGSE operative, Liar's Game delivers the incredible authenticity, action and suspense that have made the bestselling Frenchman series an international success.
