An Iranian, a Bohemian and an Irishman walk into a bar. It's not a joke. It's Conor McBride's latest assignment.

Conor McBride has made a bargain he may live to regret, if he manages to live through it, at all. Lured by the chance to reboot his career as a violinist, he's accepted a mission to Prague in exchange for the chance to perform while he's there. His boss has promised a simple, stitched-up mission, but as he might have expected, it quickly unravels into chaos as an Iranian defection spirals out of control and a renegade MI6 operative threatens to start an international crisis

As if that weren't enough, his partner is a freshly trained operative he couldn't convince to stay home – Kate Fitzpatrick. Conor hopes their relationship is on track to become a different sort of partnership, but his desire to shield Kate from the covert side of his life was no match for her determination to share in its risks.

Before long it's clear Conor is going to need all the new skills Kate can offer. Within hours of their arrival in Prague, a mysterious stranger is trailing their every more, and they are discovering the fabled lanes of this beautiful old-world city are not half as twisted as the secrets everyone is hiding.
