The Daniel Marchant Spy Trilogy Dead Spy Running Games Traitors Play Dirty Little Secret

Praised as a cross between Le Carré and Bourne, discover the Daniel Marchant spy trilogy featuring all three espionage thrillers in one collection.

For fans of Bond and Bourne, the third instalment of the pulse-pounding Daniel Marchant spy series.

"The perfect post-Bond spy...Move over, Jason Bourne." —BookPage Salim Dhar is the world's most wanted terrorist. After he narrowly failed to kill the U.S. president, the CIA is under pressure to hunt him down. Echelon, the West's intelligence analysis network, is in meltdown, monitoring all channels for the faintest trace of Dhar. But no one can find him. Only Daniel Marchant, renegade MI6 officer, knows where he is. Marchant pursues Dhar up into the Atlas Mountains outside Marrakech, where he sees an unmarked military helicopter take off and head east. Is someone shielding Dhar to perpetrate an act of proxy terrorism on the West? Or is the CIA right when it claims to have killed him? To discover the truth, Marchant must be recruited by Moscow. It's a role that will require him to believe his late father was a traitor, an allegation that he fought long and hard to dispel. Now he must rekindle those rumors and confront dark truths about his own loyalties. As Britain braces itself for an airborne terrorist attack, Marchant is about to discover that treachery is the greatest game of all.

Matching the style of le Carré with the high-energy action of Ludlum, Dead Spy Running comes racing out of the gate as the first in a fantastic new series. From its breathtaking start at the London Marathon, Jon Stock sets a breakneck pace that marks him as a formidable new thriller writer. Dead Spy Running will captivate readers with a story that leaps from a bomb threat in London, to a secret CIA black site in Poland, and on to India, where a spectacular assassination plot threatens to throw world politics into chaos.

When street-fighting anarchist Dutchie's New Age girlfriend is killed by a bomb blast in Oxford Street, he vows revenge. But how can he track down the terrorists responsible, especially when they're posing as foreign exchange dealers in the City? The only way of getting inside and to the heart of things, is for Dutchie to clean up his act, and for the dreadlocked class warrior to become a city-slicker. The Riot Act is a fast paced tale of mayhem and revenge, featuring protestors, yuppies, killers and spies. This thriller for the late nineties heralds an engaging new voice in British crime fiction.

A young man will go to any length to uncover the truth about his girlfriend’s death in this “expertly crafted, psychologically ambitious” thriller (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Jarlath “Jar” Costello never got over his girlfriend’s suicide five years ago. In fact, he’s certain she’s still alive. The brilliant young Cambridge student was crushed by the loss of her father. It’s said that she leapt to her death off the cliffs of Norfolk. The case is closed . . . though her body was never found. Jar still sees Rosa everywhere—a face on the train, a figure on the cliff. He wonders if he might be going mad. Then he gets an imploring email: “Find me, Jar. Find me, before they do. . . .” As Jar digs into the past, he enters a dark underworld where nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. He is soon thrust into the heart of a larger intrigue that may finally shed some light on Rosa’s death . . . even as it dangerously threatens his own life.

Is he who you think he is? Kate used to be good at recognising people. So good, she worked for the police, identifying criminals in crowds of thousands. But six months ago, a devastating car accident led to a brain injury. Now the woman who never forgot a face can barely recognise herself in the mirror. At least she has Rob. Kate met him just after her accident, and he nursed her back to health in his high-tech modernist house on the Cornish coast. When she's with him, the nightmares of the accident fade, and she feels safe and loved. Until, one day, she looks at Rob anew - and knows, with absolute certainty, that he has been replaced by an impostor. Is she right? Have her old recognition skills returned? Or is it all in her damaged mind? This intricate, original and emotionally charged psychological thriller is perfect for fans of J.P. Delaney and Louise Candlish.
