About the Book
Dead Spy Running
Suspended MI6 agent Daniel Marchant is running out of time. He’s alongside a man strapped with explosives at the London Marathon. If they drop their speed the belt will detonate, killing all around them. But is Marchant secretly working for the terrorists?
Marchant’s father, ex-chief of MI6, was accused by the CIA of treachery. To prove his innocence, Marchant must take a perilous journey via Poland and India to unearth his father’s dark past, test his relationship with fellow spy Leila and challenge the heavy hand of America’s war on terror.
Most of all, he has to learn to trust no one.
Games Traitors Play
Salim Dhar: the world's most wanted terrorist. Not even Echelon, the West's intelligence analysis network, can find any trace of Dhar. Enter renegade MI6 officer, Daniel Marchant.
From the souks of Marrakech to the temples of Madurai via the shores of Sardinia, Marchant is shadowed by the CIA and its exotic agent Lakshmi Meena. But why are the Russians following him too?
As Britain braces itself for a terrifying cocktail of cyber and airborne terrorist attacks, Marchant is forced to confront dark personal truths about loyalty and love. For the only way to stop Dhar is to play the traitor’s game.
Dirty Little Secret
The special relationship between London and Washington is in tatters. Salim Dhar, the world’s most wanted terrorist, has disappeared after an audacious attack on an American target in the UK. The CIA believes Daniel Marchant, renegade MI6 officer, was involved. But Marchant has a bigger secret: Dhar has agreed to work for MI6, promising to protect the UK from future terrorist atrocities.
He has also asked for something in return: Marchant must help him with a final strike against America.
Does loyalty to one’s country come above all else, whatever the price? Or are some relationships too special to ignore?
