Summary

'Lethal, lewd and entertaining as hell - Mr Phipps is the perfect assassin for these bruised times' Paul Warner, author of A Spy in the Blood
'Humphreys can tell a story' The Times
One callous criminal.
One chance to bring him down.
Mr Phipps's days of freelance assassinations may be behind him, along with the big pay outs, but after the debacle of one particular London day, working for the security services again is not so bad. Now Phipps is headed back to Germany alongside prickly MI5 agent Ellerby, on the trail of Berndt Olsen, a former Stasi agent turned human trafficker.
Phipps and Ellerby are far from a harmonious pairing, but nevertheless they must work together to tear down an intricate crime network, while calling upon friends old and new. And Phipps must also handle the complication of an enemy with a very personal grudge against him.

    In a cathedral built for silence, the loudest sound is a shared breath. 
    Dr. Elara Vance doesn't seek company; she seeks data. Inheriting a remote, perfectly acoustic Cold War observatory in the searing desert is the crowning achievement of her career. Her goal is the Silence Project: mapping the micro-variations of human emotion within absolute quiet. But the steel dome she has claimed is harboring a ghost in its decommissioned architecture—one who doesn't just watch, but listens. 
    Julian Kade knows her rhythms. He has memorized the cadence of her sleep and the hesitation in her voice. He breached her sanctuary without a single touch, rerouting legacy audio channels to capture her most unguarded moments. When Elara discovers his hidden existence in the subterranean tunnels below, she doesn't flee. Instead, she flips the switch. Every microphone goes live. Every acoustic channel opens. What begins as a violation morphs into a meticulously orchestrated game of auditory cat-and-mouse. 
    Velvet Trespass is an intensely psychological, slow-burn romantic thriller about the lines between voyeurism and vulnerability, control and exposure. In a space where the slightest friction of fabric against skin sounds like a confession, Elara must decide whether the unseen man below her feet is a threat to be eradicated... or the exact variable she has been searching for her entire life.
