From the internationally bestselling author of The Shoes of the Fisherman comes a staggering political thriller about the limits of one man's conscience. John Spada is a man of immense power—a multi-millionaire industrialist with a secret. He is the head of "Proteus," a clandestine organization dedicated to the release of political prisoners and the fight against tyranny wherever it exists. But when his own family becomes the target of a brutal South American dictatorship, Spada's noble crusade takes a dark, personal turn. Faced with the indifference of world governments, Spada is forced to choose between his humanitarian ideals and a desperate, violent gamble for justice. Proteus is a haunting exploration of power, the morality of protest, and the thin line between a freedom fighter and a terrorist.
