Agent 6

Named one of the top 100 thrillers of all time by NPR, Tom Rob Smith’s CHILD 44 was an international bestseller. Now Smith presents the stunning conclusion to his epic trilogy…

THREE DECADES.
TWO MURDERS.
ONE CONSPIRACY.
WHO IS AGENT 6?

Leo Demidov is no longer a member of Moscow’s secret police. But when his wife and daughters are invited on a “peace tour” to New York City, he is immediately suspicious. Forbidden to travel with his family, Leo watches helplessly as events in New York unfold and those closest to his heart are pulled into a web of political conspiracy, betrayal --- and murder.

In the horrible aftermath, Leo demands only one thing: to hunt down the killer who destroyed his family. His request is summarily denied. Crippled by grief and haunted by the need to find out exactly what happened in New York, Leo takes matters into his own hands. It is a quest that will span decades, and take Leo around the world --- from Moscow, to the mountains of Soviet-controlled Afghanistan, to the backstreets of New York --- in pursuit of the one man who knows the truth: Agent 6.
