(2023)(A book in the Cody series)
An omnibus of novels by David Brierley
All five novels in David Brierley's classic, widely-accliamed CODY series of espionage thrillers in one massive ebook edition.
"If you want espionage in the John le Carré class, this is it.” The Observer
COLD WAR
"An intelligently ingenious novel.” Times Literary Supplement
The problem with being a spy is that you can never leave the job…especially when you are as good at it as Cody. She’s a British-born spy traded to the CIA, where she was trained to become a top assassin, a woman willing to use her body, and any other weapon, to get the job done. And she did. But she left all that behind for a quiet life in Paris, until people began getting killed around her. Now she must use every skill she has to not only survive, but prevent a political assassination that could turn the Cold War red-hot.
BLOOD GROUP O
"This tough-minded woman is a perfect heroine and David Brierley’s novel is superb entertainment. This novel is packed with smashing action scenes." New York Times
Ex-spy Cody reluctantly accepts an assignment from French Intelligence to rescue a rich industrialist's child who has been kidnapped by Blood Group O, a brutal terrorist group. But Cody has her own reasons for hunting them down -- to avenge the death of her lover. Along the way, she uncovers a horrifying assassination plot of massive proportions that only she can stop.
SKORPION'S DEATH
“The events of a complicated plot are neatly strung on a taut thread of tension. It's Cody's mind and voice, however, that steal this book.” Publishers Weekly
Ex-spy Cody is hired to find a pilot who disappeared with his plane somewhere in North Africa. Her search pits her against Skorpion, a terrorist group plotting to establish radical Islamist caliphates across the Arab world, a discovery that forces her into a brutal, agonizing death-march for survival across Tunisia’s scorching, desert hell-scape.
SNOWLINE
"A furiously-paced thriller in the Modesty Blaise-mold. Very enjoyable." Daily Post (Wales)
Ex-spy Cody is hired to deliver $100,000 to fund a medical mission in war-torn village in El Salvador...but she's been tricked. There is no medical mission. There isn't even a doctor. There is only a brigade of violent revolutionaries who want that money to fund their international criminal ambitions. But they don't know Cody...who launches her own, one-woman war against the rebel's Snowline, their cocaine smuggling operation to the outside world.
DEATH & CO.
"Brierley engages all the senses with tactile descriptions of exotic locations and harrowing images of physical action. The suspense becomes palpable." Boston Herald
Cody is an ex-spy living in Paris who is hired by a wealthy businessman to find the people responsible for the murder of his wife and the kidnapping of his adopted, Romanian daughter. Her mission pits against corrupt police officers, old enemies in French Intelligence, and a ruthlessly violent European crime syndicate in the fight of her life.
