Blurb: MI6′s Head of Station in Turkey is killed in a mysterious plane crash. Amelia Levene, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, wants the incident investigated – quickly and quietly. The only man she can trust is Thomas Kell, a disgraced spy searching for redemption. Arriving in Istanbul, Kell discovers that MI6 operations in the region have been fatally compromised: a traitor inside Western Intelligence threatens not just the Special Relationship, but the security of the entire Middle East. Kell’s search for the mole takes him from London, to Greece, and into Eastern Europe. But when Kell is betrayed by those closest to him, the stakes become personal. He will do anything to see this operation through – including putting himself, and others, in the line of fire… (HarperCollins, May 2014)
Barry Forshaw, The Independent
“ The levels of psychological insight are married to genuine narrative acumen – but anyone who has read his earlier books will expect no less.”
John Dugdale, The Sunday Times
“A Colder War exerts slightly less narrative grip than its predecessor, but that is more than offset by gains in topicality.”
