"The heir to Frederick Forsyth's crown as King of Thrillers." MICHAEL JECKS 



A SPY ALONE. AN ENEMY WITHIN.


A veteran American spymaster weaving an elaborate web.

A politician who makes a high-stakes promise he can’t keep.

A clutch of sophisticated air defence missiles stolen in Ukraine.

A terrorist cell with plans to commit an outrage in the US capital.

And, at the centre of it all, a British agent, operating alone and undercover, on a desperate, globe-trotting mission to prevent catastrophe.

She cannot fail . . .

EARLY READERS ARE LOVING THE BRITISH AGENT

Wow. This was a real page turner and a rollercoaster of a read. This is a brilliantly plotted multilayered spy and techno thriller that introduces a wonderful tough and resilient female heroine . . . The action is breathless and non stop and you are carried along with the excitement as things are never quite what they seem
