The new stylish mystery from acclaimed bestseller William Boyd takes you deep into a shadow-drenched world where loyalty blurs, motives darken, and every step could be fatal.

Cold War Moscow is a place smouldering with secrets . . .

Gabriel Dax is en route to Russia, tasked with delivering a mysterious Blanco drawing to celebrated defector, Kit Caldwell. However, Caldwell is convinced that the KGB suspects him of treachery and he wants to get out - now.

When Gabriel is ordered by his enigmatic handler Faith Green to help, he is pulled into a web of shifting loyalties and dangerous escape plans. As tensions rise and trust fractures, he is forced to confront the fine line between devotion and deception. But which will he choose?

Cold Sunset is the third thrilling novel by William Boyd to star Gabriel Dax - travel writer, reluctant spy, and accidental hero. The Sunday Times bestselling series also features Gabriel's Moon and The Predicament.
