Timothy Blake returns in a tense, unputdownable thriller from the author of Hangman.
The body of a Chinese astronaut falls from the sky and lands in the middle of the Johnson Space Centre. The CIA sends Timothy 'Hangman' Blake to check it out, because a convicted kidnapper works there - someone Blake put away a long time ago. Somebody he can lean on to help bury the story.
Blake is deeply insane, afflicted by terrible urges he can barely control - but he's also brilliant. Zara, his beautiful and deadly CIA handler, thinks a secret Chinese space station is hovering over the United States, but Blake can see something much more sinister is going on. Something connected to the kidnapping seven years ago, to the technologies being developed at the Space Centre, and to the serial killer known as the Texas Reaper.
Will Blake survive long enough to uncover the truth? And if he does, will anyone even believe him?
