Milo Weaver continues to be haunted by nightmares from his last assignment as the Tourist, a nonexistent CIA secret agent to the outside world. Fortunately, the Department of Tourism was abolished shortly afterwards and Milo can return to his family. However, Weaver's former boss Alan Drummond, for whom Tourism was everything, decides to settle one last score with the Chinese spy behind the collapse of Drummond's life's work. After Drummond disappears without a trace, Milo finds himself back in a game full of hidden truths, lies and misinformation. The American spy completes a worldwide successful trilogy of spy thrillers (Tourist, Book Club 2010, Nearest East, Book Club 2012).
