Vaughn _____________________ The globe-trotting spy thriller that inspired the upcoming
action blockbuster Argylle featuring a star-studded cast including Henry Cavill Bryce Dallas
Howard Samuel L. Jackson and John Cena. One Russian magnate's dream of restoring a nation to
greatness has set in motion a chain of events which will take the world to the brink of chaos.
Only Frances Coffey the CIA's most legendary spymaster can prevent it. But to do so she
needs someone special. Enter Argylle. His life came to a crashing halt as a teenager. Since
then he has been treading water building barriers between himself and the world. Until one
moment of compassion and brilliance will bring him to the attention of the most powerful woman
in the secret world. Coffey knows all about Argylle's dark past. She knows it haunts him. But
she also knows it may give him the skills to join the team going up against one of the most
powerful men in the world. His crash course in espionage will take him from the jungles of
Thailand to the boulevards of Monaco from the monasteries of Mount Athos to a forgotten cavern
buried deep in the mountains. It is a deathly rollercoaster ride that will either make him -
or break him...
