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 that 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 South-East 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.
