The meridian protocal

He is Thames Barn — gentleman, ghost, and the last man you want on your trail. When a murdered courier's effects land in his tailor's shop, Barn inherits a dead man's mission: a traitor inside Meridian, Europe's most discreet intelligence alliance, is auctioning a list of forty undercover operatives to the highest bidder. The buyer is the Halcyon Syndicate, a private military empire engineering a war between two nations — a war that starts with a staged atrocity in ten days. From a midnight fitting on Savile Row to a glittering charity gala in the principality of Montreve, from a white-knuckle run through the Swiss Alps to a luxury yacht auction in Monaco's shadow, Barn follows the money, the lies, and the bodies. Armed with a new gadget for every job, an exotic V12 that outruns everything on the road, and his father's old chronometer ticking against his wrist, he closes in on an enemy who has been inside the room all along. But the traitor knows Barn is coming. And the dead-man's switch is already armed. THE MERIDIAN PROTOCOL is a sophisticated, globe-trotting spy thriller starring an original gentleman hero — fearless, impeccably dressed, and gone before the applause. Ten chapters. One mission. No mercy for traitors.
