"A gripping and well-crafted spy thriller, laced with wit and humour... Highly enjoyable." Mark Ellis, author of The Embassy Murders
London, 2023.
Bestselling spy novelist, Daniel Ambler, is asked by MI6 to re-connect with Natasha Guseva, an old flame.
Natasha is the former fianc��� of Valentin Orlov, a Russian oligarch. Orlov, recently killed in a helicopter crash, had links to both the FSB and criminal underworld.
Ambler must discover if Natasha is still in possession of Orlov's assets. Assets which the British security services would like to appropriate, before the Kremlin can.
The author succeeds in inserting himself into Natasha's life and affections. But Ambler proves too successful - and arouses the suspicions of the woman's lawyer, Burian Kozlov, and her new financial adviser, the American Nathan Eastman.
How much does Natasha know about her late fiancé's business affairs? Why is Ambler's driver, the ex-paratrooper James Marshal, attacked? A couple of Russian operatives begin to surveil the novelist - but under whose orders are they acting?
There are more questions than answers.
The game must be played out, but Ambler is about to find out that the odds are stacked against him.
Recommended for fans of Mick Herron, Alan Judd and Graham Greene.
Thomas Waugh is the pseudonym of a bestselling historical novelist. His other books include Gun For Hire, Enough is Enough and Duty Calls. He lives in London.
Praise for Thomas Waugh:
A thrilling full-throttle, white-knuckle ride written with irrepressible and seething intrigue and energy.
Simon Sebag-Montefiore, author of One Night in Winter.
Waugh has done it again. Another cracking thriller, packed with twists, insight and a trademark wry wit.
Patrick Bishop, author of The Man Who Was Saturday
'Engaging and enjoyable. A must read for soldiers and civilians.' Damien Lewis
'Fast, brutal and uncompromising. Waugh gets you in his sniper-scope and doesn't relent until the very last page.' John Kennedy, author of The Trauma Pool
"Thomas Waughs gripping second James Marshal thriller reads as though Andy McNab has sent Nick Stone into the meanest streets of London on a mission of brutal revenge." Peter Tonkin, author of The Trojan Murders
"Tense and atmospheric." Humphrey Hawksley
A gripping spy thriller, which will keep the reader guessing till the very last scene. Waugh is able to blend together both suspense and satire like few other authors. Saul David, Battleground: Ukraine
Genre: Historical
