"I loved The King's Pawn - it's just so exciting to see a powerful female character like Sarah Black emerging. This is a fast-paced espionage thriller that feels fresh and exciting - and takes you to some shocking places. It will keep you up far too late!" - Holly Watt, journalist, crime writer and winner of the 2019 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger.
Sarah Black is young, naïve, inexperienced, and the latest recruit into the world of international espionage. Thrown into a world where nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted, Sarah must learn the rules of the game quickly, just to survive.
Drawn to the enigmatic Michael, a suave but elusive MI6 agent, she falls into a world of adventure and intrigue.
When MI6 hear rumours of a potential attack on a new oil pipeline across the Caucasus, Sarah finds herself thrust into the middle of a web of deceit and intrigue.
Alone and without support in an unstable Eastern Europe, can Sarah foil the plot before it’s too late?
Can she draw on all her ingenuity and courage to survive in a world where everyone thinks they are a king but actually all are just pawns?
“If you’re looking for the next Le Carré, Ludlum or Silva, then she has arrived and her name is Lucy Hooft, the refreshingly new female spy author. Steel yourself for her spectacular and much anticipated British spy series set in Eastern Europe that catapults you into a world of 21st Century intrigue, deception, and a perilous slalom of twists and turns you—I’ll warn you now—might never recover from.”
