Description
Set in China, and ripped from today's headlines, comes a pulse-pounding debut that reinvents the spy thriller for the 21st century.
A lone man, Peanut, escapes a labor camp in the dead of night, fleeing across the winter desert of north-west China.
Two decades earlier, he was a spy for the British; now Peanut must disappear on Beijing's surveillance-blanketed streets. Desperate and ruthless, he reaches out to his one-time MI6 paymasters via crusading journalist Philip Mangan, offering military secrets in return for extraction.
But the secrets prove more valuable than Peanut or Mangan could ever have known. . . and not only to the British.

Advance Praise
"Outstanding….A thriller writer to watch….A convincing picture of what actually happens in the corridors of power." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Night Heron is a wonderfully cinematic novel — I felt myself visually transported into every scene, watching the action unfold — that also immersed me in the sounds and smells and feel of China, all the while telling a rich, complex espionage story. A remarkable accomplishment.” —Chris Pavone, author of international bestseller The Expats
