Cold War

If you want to kill somebody in France, an election is the perfect time, and a political rally the ideal location as the debate and street violence heat up despite the icy weather. And the weather itself could become political when brilliant young scientist Jean-Louis Ladouceur disappears. Has he defected to the Eastern Bloc or become a political pawn in both internal and international politics? His work with the think tank Instituit 21 was rumoured to be breaking new ground in Geo-economics, proposing a massive irrigation scheme in central Russia which will change the climate in France. What better way to destabilise France than to threaten next year's Champagne vintage....
Cody is a 28-year-old CIA trained agent, now trying to carve a new life in Paris with her lover; but mostly just trying to stay alive. Her training wasn't wasted, because there are always people willing to pay for certain skills, but she doesn't work for any security organization.
The trouble is, once they know you've been trained, they suspect you of being an active player in the great Cold War game.
You simply can't get out.
Cold War earned debut author David Brierley the accolade "a new name joins the world's greatest spy fiction writers" and his heroine Cody was quickly recognised as an agent just as tough and resourceful as a Bond or a Quiller.
