In die vroee oggendure van 15 Maart 1901 word Salome de Waal wakker gemaak deur ’n dringende klop aan haar kamervenster. Dit is die Boereverkenner Hans van Zyl wat wegkruipplek soek van sy Kakie-agtervolgers. Hans, ’n ou vriend van Salome se verwonde broer Piet, word Salome se enigste kontak met die Boere op die slagveld. Hoe moet sy die opwinding verstaan wat Hans se besoeke elke donkermaan meebring? Sy is immers getroud, al beskou sy haar man, Albert, as ’n verraaier omdat hy vir die Britse besettingsmag werk. Dan is daar ook die sjarmante maj. Bruce Symington, wat betower word deur Salome se skoonheid en haar andersheid. Salome raak net so verstrengel in die spioenasienetwerk in Pretoria as in haar eie verwarde gevoelens, haar pligsbesef en haar politieke oortuigings. Eers wanneer sy as hulpverpleegster in die Irene-konsentrasiekamp gaan werk, word die oorlog vir haar werklikheid en neem sake ’n verloop wat sy nie kon voorsien het nie.

CIA case officer Sam Joseph is dispatched to Paris to recruit Syrian Palace official Mariam Haddad. The two fall into a forbidden relationship, which supercharges Haddad's recruitment and creates unspeakable danger when they enter Damascus to find the man responsible for the disappearance of an American spy.

But the cat and mouse chase for the killer soon leads to a trail of high-profile assassinations and the discovery of a dark secret at the heart of the Syrian regime, bringing the pair under the all-seeing eyes of Assad's spy catcher, Ali Hassan, and his brother Rustum, the head of the feared Republican Guard. Set against the backdrop of a Syria pulsing with fear and rebellion, Damascus Station is a gripping thriller that offers a textured portrayal of espionage, love, loyalty, and betrayal in one of the most difficult CIA assignments on the planet.

A historic institution is hiding a very modern threat.

The student
Li Min, a Chinese student, is forced by her government to transfer from Harvard to Oxford University, where she is recruited to an elite Chinese study centre based out of St Felix’s College.

Meanwhile, the centre’s newly recruited head stumbles on its more sinister purpose: recruiting Chinese and sympathetic British students to steal high-value research and intellectual property. Unsure who at the university he can trust, he turns to CIA agent Manon Tyler for help.

On a high-risk operation ranging across Europe, their brief is to recover or render inoperable the US National Security Agency's new - and missing - cyber warfare programme, codenamed TERRAMAX. The body bag count inexorably rises, complicated by the involvement of other 'hostile' intelligence teams, also intent on gaining possession of the new cyber warfare system at any cost. Adam's joint operation team, comprising the SIS, NSA and NCS, find themselves playing a cat-and-mouse game with the anonymous 'Auctioneer', leading to a personal tragedy for Adam. After Adam's resignation from 'the Office', the story continues four years later - two of them having seen Adam in prison - as the SIS reappears in his life, making him an offer he knows he can't refuse. With a new partner, once again Adam finds himself crossing international time zones in a race against time to find the SIS 'mole' responsible for the elimination of several service officers and assets worldwide - with more to follow. With a brief to locate and extract or eliminate the 'mole', the operation will culminate in a virtual suicide mission in the People's Republic of China. The author, a non-person in intelligence terms, is noted for the depth of information and accurate detail in his writing, taking the reader on a rollercoaster ride into the world of shadows that is intelligence...

Arkady Renko returns in this tense political thriller about what it means to fight for truth and justice in today’s Russia, from one of the undisputed masters of the genre.

When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Volkov – a wealthy Russian businessman and the son of Moscow’s mayor – he knows he has to tread carefully. Maxim Volkov is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem.

Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Alexei Volkov’s murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed.

Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs – but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line.

Within hours of starting his investigation, he is followed, shot at and has his briefcase stolen. As Charlie continues to pursue answers, he quickly becomes too entangled in the web of fraud, betrayal and career criminals surrounding the theft to escape its deadly snare.

A nail-biting tale of conspiracy and pursuit from Thomas Perry, Pro Bono will have readers looking over their shoulders as constantly as they keep turning pages.
