Destination Unknown
by Agatha Christie
When brilliant nuclear scientist Thomas Betterton vanishes without a trace following a conference in Paris, the British secret service is left with a trail of conflicting reports and no clear motive. Intelligence officer Jessop must navigate a maze of official secrets and personal deceptions to uncover whether Betterton is a victim of kidnapping, a voluntary defector, or something far more dangerous. As Betterton’s distraught wife, Olive, plans a recovery trip to North Africa, Jessop begins to suspect that her grief may be a carefully constructed mask. In a world of Cold War tension and revolutionary scientific breakthroughs, the search for one man leads into a labyrinth where no one can be trusted.
