Slow Burner

'Here at last we have an adult Ian Fleming' - Sunday Express

For British spymaster, Colonel Russell, the Cold War is about to get hotter.

When plans for a new and highly-innovative form of nuclear energy are stolen it falls to Russell's Security Executive to retrieve them before the secrets of Slow Burner are leaked to Britain's enemies.

But as Russell discovers, the enemy within can be more dangerous than any foreign adversary.

Tense, pacy, intelligent and atmospheric, Slow Burner is the first in William Haggard's Colonel Russell series of hugely acclaimed Cold War thrillers - now available in digital version for the first time.

For fans of Ian Fleming, John le Carre, Charles Cumming and Frederick Forsyth.
