Sinopse

A Love Reading Book of the Month
'Mark Ezra's impressive debut creatively mixes biblical themes with echoes of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club... but is very much its own work' Financial Times
'It's a well-written book. Punchy throughout' Spectator
'Compelling and engaging' Julian Fellowes
'...distinct echoes of the classy Agatha Christie espionage novels' Peter James
'Anyone who enjoys Richard Osman and Mick Herron will love this taut, atmospheric spy thriller.' Charles Cumming
When retired former spy Felicity Jardine's mission to drown herself is interrupted by a baby drifting down river, her training kicks in at once. She manages to save the baby, and conceals them both from the shady-looking man who is searching for it.
Then an elderly neighbour to whom she bears a resemblance is found dead, and Felicity knows she's been rumbled. She has to dust off the highly trained and resourceful secret service officer she used to be, ensure the safety of the baby, and re-enter the fray.
She can count on the help of two former MI6 colleagues to identify the murderer and find out exactly what's going on. But Felicity will soon realise that her work in 1970s Germany and her present are entangled – and she will have to face some hard truths before she can confront the demons of her past.
'Quirky and inventive. Splendid stuff!' Luke Jennings, author of Killing Eve
'A hugely entertaining spy thriller. Pacey and laced with dark humour' Emma Curtis

    A Deadly Data Breach. A Triple Homicide. One File Worth Killing For. 
    From the award-winning Mike Stoneman Thriller series comes Book #7 — a gripping crime thriller set in the heart of a frozen New York City. 
    When electronics store owner Lou Palazzo is gunned down at a snowy Manhattan intersection, NYPD homicide detectives Mike Stoneman and Jason Dickson catch a case that’s anything but ordinary. Back at Lou’s shop, two Chinese nationals linked to a powerful Shanghai cybercrime ring are dead. The only clue? A missing laptop computer, possibly containing something Lou was willing to die to protect. 
    Meanwhile, NYU student Ryan Gelb is panicking. His hacked laptop held the stolen university data — data he quietly gave to his Uncle Lou. Now Lou is dead, and whoever killed him is coming for the file. . . and for Ryan. 
    Caught between international cybercriminals, New York mobsters, and the police, Ryan is desperate to recover the file and avoid being expelled — or worse, executed. 
    As Mike and Jason untangle a web of secrets, lies, and digital deception, they're met with stonewalling from all sides: NYU won’t talk, witnesses are hiding the truth, and even their closest allies are keeping dangerous secrets. 
    With the body count rising and a deadly showdown looming, the race is on to solve the mystery, recover the missing file, and avoid turning Lower Manhattan into a bloodbath. 
    Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, John Sandford, and David Baldacci, this high-stakes police procedural mixes hard-boiled action, cybercrime intrigue, and unforgettable characters in a page-turning thriller you won’t be able to put down.

    The countdown to invasion begins... 
     
    It's September 1940, and British intelligence is desperately worried: the Nazi invasion of Britain is imminent. 
     
    A sinister organisation called The Group, a collection of British and Irish Nazi collaborators, is at work trying to support Hitler's plans... 
     
    But that is not the only concern for the spy chiefs: the search for double agent 'Archie' – the Soviet spy and British traitor – is proving fruitless, and now they know there’s a second traitor, Bertie, also in play. 
     
    Will they be able to foil the invasion plans without their schemes being leaked to the enemy? 
     
    Taking the reader from wartime London to the south coast of England, from Berlin to neutral Ireland and from the German intelligence headquarters in Hamburg to the port of Rotterdam, The Second Traitor is the second novel in Alex Gerlis’s highly acclaimed Double Agent series, a follow-up to Every Spy a Traitor.
