Andy McNab Livres

En cette fin d'année 1999, Nick Stone, le héros de Manipulation et d'Ordre de tuer, est un homme aux abois. Suspendu par le Secret Intelligence Service britannique, il est accablé par les ennuis d'argent et se trouve contraint de louer ses services pour des opérations encore plus douteuses et hasardeuses que celles dont il avait l'habitude. C'est ainsi qu'il est conduit à participer, à Helsinki, à l'enlèvement d'un patron de la mafia russe, Valentin Lebed, entreprise qui se soldera par un demi-échec et un authentique bain de sang. Amené à libérer Lebed et à lui sauver ainsi la vie, il se voit proposer par lui un travail très spécial mais somptueusement rétribué. L'opération, orchestrée par une compagne de Lebed, la très belle et inquiétante Liv, consiste, pour Nick Stone, à recruter - au besoin par la force ou le chantage - un virtuose du piratage électronique, Tom Mancini, et à l'amener en Finlande afin de percer le code d'accès d'un mystérieux système informatique. Un système informatique dont Nick ne découvrira la nature et l'importance capitale que lorsqu'il se retrouvera pris entre deux feux dans une impitoyable guerre secrète aux rebondissements imprévisibles. La mort, la trahison et la corruption sont en effet présentes à chaque pas dans ce ballet tragique dominé par les ombres redoutables de la mafia russe et des services secrets occidentaux.
