Twenty years ago, Daniel Reid saved a man's life.
That man went on to become President.
Now Daniel is returning to Talora as New Zealand's ambassador, expecting a diplomatic posting shaped by an old friendship and a shared history neither man has ever quite left behind.
Then a former intelligence contact disappears.
A cryptic message points Daniel towards events surrounding the assassination attempt that changed Talora forever, and towards questions that were never meant to be asked. As old names resurface and people Daniel has trusted for decades begin keeping dangerous secrets, the history he thought he understood starts to unravel.
Someone has spent years protecting the truth.
Someone else is determined to expose it.
And Daniel is caught between them.
With his family threatened and his closest relationships tested, Daniel is forced back into a world he thought he'd left behind. But this time the greatest danger isn't knowing too little. It's discovering that the people he trusts most may have been part of the deception from the beginning.
Because twenty years ago, Daniel didn't simply save a life.
He may have helped change the future of a country.
And now someone wants him to understand why.
The Ambassador is a gripping, character driven espionage thriller about friendship, betrayal, loyalty and the dangerous difference between the truth we know and the truth we choose to believe.
