A Treachery of Friends

From the Dagger Award-winning "top notch thriller writer," a new novel of politics, religion, power, and a woman's search for her missing father's secrets (Simon Kernick, bestselling author of Relentless).

A man lies bleeding on the roadside. Hidden in his clothing is a message to Sidney from her father-who has been missing for fourteen years . . .

Practical and level-headed Sid doesn't believe in miracles. So she sets out on a search for her father that leads to his old friends from university-or at least, the two of them who are still around. One is the head of a religious cult. The other is an ambitious politician. And both have secrets they want to stay buried-secrets Sid will have to uncover before a killer strikes again . . .
