Robin Monarch is the CIA's top field asset. He is also an expert thief. Son of an American cat burglar and an Argentinian con artist, orphaned at thirteen, his is a character forged and hardened amid the ruthless slum gangs of Buenos Aires.
During a field operation in Istanbul, Monarch uncovers evidence of corruption stemming back to the very top of the CIA and Congress. This discovery - project Green Fields - is enough to make him rethink his loyalties, and go rogue. An international crisis is
sparked, with Monarch at its centre.
Washington politicians, European criminals and Middle Eastern arms dealers are all hunting him - to force him to share his information, or to ensure his silence. Or, Monarch fears, both.
To survive, Monarch will have to rely on a code he learned as a starving boy, orphaned and abandoned in the slums of South America. This code is the eighteen-rule-strong La Fraternidad des Ladrones, the Brotherhood of Thieves.

Copenhagen, Prince is soon caught in a deadly game of cat and

espionage series that will delight fans of Alan Furst, Philip Kerr

and Bald, two battle-hardened Blades, stand between survival and
global chaos...

In a spellbinding new masterpiece by #1 New York Times-bestselling
author Daniel Silva, Gabriel Allon undertakes a high-stakes search
for the greatest art forger who ever lived Legendary spy and art
restorer Gabriel Allon has at long last severed ties with Israeli
intelligence and settled quietly in Venice, the only place he has
ever truly known peace. His beautiful wife, Chiara, has taken over
day-to-day management of the Tiepolo Restoration Company, and their
two young children are clandestinely enrolled in a neighborhood
scuola elementare. For his part, Gabriel spends his days wandering
the streets and canals of the watery city, parting company with the
demons of his tragic, violent past. But when the eccentric London
art dealer Julian Isherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the
circumstances surrounding the rediscovery and lucrative sale of a
centuries-old painting, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and
mouse where nothing is as it seems. Gabriel soon discovers that the
work in question, a portrait of an unidentified woman attributed to
Sir Anthony van Dyck, is almost certainly a fiendishly clever fake.
To find the mysterious figure who painted it-and uncover a
multibillion-dollar fraud at the pinnacle of the art world-Gabriel
conceives one of the most elaborate deceptions of his career. If it
is to succeed, he must become the very mirror image of the man he
seeks: the greatest art forger the world has ever known.

Villanelle learn to fully trust each other or will their
differences destroy them? Codename Villanelle and No Tomorrow, the
first two installments of the Killing Eve series, are out now!

An acclaimed Chinese writer makes his English language debut with
this heart-stopping literary noir, a richly atmospheric tale of
espionage and international intrigue, set in Shanghai in 1931--an
electrifying, decadent world of love, violence, and betrayal filled
with femme fatales, criminals, revolutionaries, and spies. A boat
from Hong Kong arrives in Shanghai harbor, carrying an important
official in the Nationalist Party and his striking wife, Leng. Amid
the raucous sound of firecrackers, gunshots ring out; an assassin
has shot the official and then himself. Leng disappears in the
ensuing chaos. Hseuh, a Franco-Chinese photographer aboard the same
boat, became captivated by Leng's beauty and unconcealed misery.
Now, she is missing. But Hsueh is plagued by a mystery closer to
home: he suspects his White Russian lover, Therese, is unfaithful.
Why else would she disappear so often on their recent vacation?
When he's arrested for mysterious reasons in the French Concession
and forced to become a police collaborator, he realizes that in the
seamy, devious world of Shanghai, no one is who they appear to be.
Coerced into spying for the authorities, Hseuh discovers that
Therese is secretly an arms dealer, supplying Shanghai's gangs with
weapons. His investigation of Therese eventually leads him back to
Leng, a loyal revolutionary with ties to a menacing new gang, led
by a charismatic Communist whose acts of violence and terrorism
threaten the entire country. His aptitude for espionage draws Hseuh
into a dark underworld of mobsters, smugglers, anarchists, and
assassins. Torn between Therese and Leng, he vows to protect them
both. As the web of intrigue tightens around him, Hsueh plays a
dangerous game, hoping to stay alive.
It is the summer of 1961 and the brutal Cold War between East and West
is becoming ever more perilous.
Two young prodigies from either side of the Iron Curtain, Yulia and
Michael, meet at a chess tournament in London. They don't know it, but
they are about to compete in the deadliest game ever played.
Shadowing them is Greta, a ruthless resistance fighter who grew up the
hard way in the forests of Lithuania, but who is now hunting down some
of the most dangerous men in the world.
Men who are also on the radar of Vassily, perhaps the Soviet Union's
greatest spymaster. A man of cunning and influence, Vassily was Yulia's
minder during her visit to the West, but even he could not foresee the
consequences of her meeting Michael.
When the world is accelerating towards an inevitable and catastrophic
conflict, what can just four people do to prevent it?
Epic in scope, The Partisan is a thrill ride like no other, taking you
from the hallowed halls of Cambridge to the grimy depths of the Moscow
underworld, from 1960s London to the Eastern Front in the Second World
War.
James Bond is missing. 007 has been captured, perhaps even killed,

truth, because the future of humanity hangs in the balance. Time is

his team leaves Marc as the only survivor - and with the shocking
knowledge that there are traitors inside MI6 - he's forced into the
front line. Worse still, every shred of evidence seems to point
towards Marc as the perpetrator of the attack. Accused of betraying
his country, and with no one left to trust, he is forced to rely on
the elusive Rubicon group and their operative Lucy Keyes. Ex US

got the field skills that Marc is sorely lacking. But Marc will
soon realise he is just a pawn in a monstrous conspiracy. A
terrorist attack is coming, one bigger and more deadly than has
ever been seen before. And with the eyes of the security
establishment elsewhere, only Marc and Lucy can stop the attack
before it's too late. A brilliant, white-knuckle thrill ride, NOMAD
