A novel by Benjamin Campbell (a seasonal resident of York).

Set in 2023, What Have They Done is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Nothing They Won't Do. It's five years later, and Putin and Iran are driving the world towards war over the West's assistance to Ukraine and the fighting in Israel and Gaza. Mason Wright fears MI6 may try to drag him and Kelly back in as global strife continues to spread, but he's more focused on keeping his marriage and his life from falling apart under pressures of a more personal nature.

On the surface they appear to be the perfect couple, living in a fashionable neighborhood and partying with the rich and beautiful in chateaux across France. But darker truths lurk behind the façade as they struggle to recover from a personal tragedy – and someone with knowledge of a secret from Mason’s past targets their family, threatening everything he and Kelly hold dear.

Just when it all seems too much to bear, the unthinkable comes to pass - and Mason and Kelly find themselves caught in the crosshairs of competing government agencies on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Suddenly, it's no longer a question of trying to save a marriage but one of trying to save their lives.

Mason Wright is living the dream as a first-year student at the most famous business school in the world, until a tragic accident in Boston derails his life. Expelled from school, with a cloud over his head, he jumps at a chance opportunity to interview for a job in Paris, hoping for a fresh start away from everyone who knows his past.

Alone in a foreign land, Mason is befriended by a German expat named Hans von Eiger, who introduces him to beautiful, aristocratic friends at parties in chateaux across Europe. However, Mason discovers that not everyone in his new friend group is who they appear to be, and now someone wants him dead to keep their secret safe. Framed for a crime he didn't commit, Mason finds himself completely alone again - on the run, trying to out-smart enemies who reach the highest echelons of power. Not knowing who he can trust, he ultimately puts his faith in, and falls in love with, a beautiful, independent, young woman - who he discovers may be hiding a secret of her own.

But has he made the right choice? Whose secret will get him killed and whose might just save his life?
