About the Book
The Sigma Protocol is a classic Ludlum thriller high-stakes, fast-moving, and laced with moral ambiguity. When Ben Hartman, a wealthy American banker, encounters an old childhood friend in Switzerland, the meeting turns deadly. After narrowly surviving an attempted murder, Hartman finds himself entangled in a decades-old conspiracy connected to an obscure wartime intelligence program known only as SIGMA.
Meanwhile, Anna Navarro, a U.S. government investigator, is tracking a string of mysterious deaths across Europe all linked by that same shadowy code name. As she is abruptly removed from the case and marked as a rogue agent, the two find themselves on the run, drawn together by shared peril and an ever-widening web of deceit.
In The Sigma Protocol, Ludlum blends the taut suspense of the Cold War with postmodern anxieties of power and surveillance. It is a story about the buried past of global capitalism and the sinister intersection of profit, politics, and human life.
