Charles Buford Lowell, after having served in the CIA and its clone
the IRI for years, retired to the quiet resort community of
Sunriver, Oregon. Charles had recently remarried after the murder
of his wife by IRA terrorists while he was on a mission in Ireland.
He recently had engineered the destruction of the Muslim shrine of
the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. He is recalled against his
wishes for duty by the IRI to assassinate the Prime Minister of
Israel. He tries to disappear and the story develops in a
background of adventure and intrigue.
A gripping mystery set in 2011. A reporter uncovers a government
conspiracy to resurrect a project classified for 40 years. To keep
the wrong people from knowing, the conspirators also resurrect one
of the Army's most feared killing projects.
The assassination of a Treadstone agent leads two Blackbriar
operatives down a rabbit hole of deceit and betrayal in this
explosive new series from the world of Robert Ludlum's Jason
Bourne. A car explodes on a quiet Prague side street - and among
the dead is an undercover Treadstone agent. It's not unusual for
such men to meet their fates on an operation, but in this case
there's one catch: none of the agent's superiors knows why he was
there. Two Blackbriar operatives, Helen Jouvert and Donovan Wade,
are sent to investigate. Their search for answers will take them
deeper into the world of conspiracy and fake news than they ever
expected. Treadstone and Blackbriar, intelligence and
counter-intelligence, may be two sides of the same coin, but they
have one thing in common: answers can be the deadliest commodity of
all. Reviewers on Simon Gervais: 'Thriller writing at its level
best' Providence Journal 'Non-stop action meets relentless
suspense' The Real Book Spy
When fifteen-year-old American Hailey Portman goes missing in
Switzerland, her desperate parents seek the help of their neighbor,
Finn Harrington, a seemingly quiet historian rumored to be a former
spy. Sensing the story runs deeper than anyone yet knows, Finn
reluctantly agrees to make some enquiries. He has little to go on
other than his instincts, and his instincts have been wrong in the
past-sometimes spectacularly wrong. But he gets involved anyway,
never imagining that Hailey's disappearance might be linked to the
tragic events that ended his career six years earlier, drawing him
back into a deadly world that has neither forgiven nor forgotten.
Seductive and controversial, "Estados Unidos/United States"
pulsates with passion, intrigue and political ambition as financial
titans clash over US-Mexican immigration policies.
This tightly woven novel extrapolates present trends to
construct a plot packed with powerful conflicts and human emotions.
In doing so, the novel focuses on three formidable characters: the
wealthy and influential Esteban Sanchez, his brilliant, captivating
son, Carlos, and the woman Carlos loves, Janet Graham, whose goal
is to reach high political office. While Esteban and Carlos work
separately behind the scenes to implement border-cracking
legislation for an ambitious union between the U.S. and Mexico,
other forces come into play: "The moment had arrived. Time to begin
the beguine. How the world would dance Regrettable, even painful,
the pilot lamented, the numbers that would be sacrificed. Yet as
Spartacus and Bolivar, Joan of Arc and George Patton knew, only
slaughter could galvanize a government, so slaughter it would
be."
The lunacy has to be stopped.
Carlos is convinced that once Janet truly understands Mexico,
she will support "his" vision. In her relentless quest to
internalize Mexican culture, she unearths the roadmap to a better
tomorrow.
The Klines' firsthand experiences and additional research make
this novel both explicative and riveting.

and psychologically absolutely true, but of course they're novels."

passionate badminton player. His regular Monday evening opponent is
half his age: the introspective and solitary Ed. Ed hates Brexit,

himself down the path of political anger that will ensnare them
all. Agent Running in the Field is a chilling portrait of our time,
now heartbreaking, now darkly humorous, told to us with unflagging
tension by the greatest chronicler of our age.

The water tower stood brooding over the cemetery in East Arcadia as
if it resented what had transpired, without its permission, beneath
it. Here Harley had lost his mask and his symbolic identity, and by
extension, mine as well, thereby beginning our fool's errand of
retrieval. And just beyond the bend of the horizon stood the
skeletal remains of the Way Keepers Spiritual Center, where our
odyssey had ended in an all-too-literal trial by fire. Surrounded
by immutable reminders of our journey, it struck me that I had been
guilty, as Harley had pointed out, of safely observing rather than
taking an active part in the world around me. Harley had accused me
of bench-warming my way through life at the masque in Atlantic
City. "You gotta get out there and see the world," he said, "not
just read about it." Harley's easy smile hadn't changed since
kindergarten, and we had been inseparable since. Our third grade
teacher called us the Dynamic Duo, though I later thought the Odd
Couple made more sense-Harley the extroverted white athlete and I
the introverted black bookworm-but I had been grateful for her
convenient color blindness, and for her open-minded acceptance,
something sadly lacking in our classmates from the largely-white,
conformist suburb of Arcadia.
Jack McColl is an international automobile salesman, travelling the
world in search of markets for the luxury Maia he has in train. He
is also a spy, moonlighting for the embryonic British intelligence
services in the run-up to the First World War. 'Jack of Spies'
takes McColl and his sweetheart, the beautiful American socialist
Caitlin Hanley, from the brothels and opium dens of pre-war
Shanghai to the wet backstreets of Dublin via San Francisco Bay, as
they work to foil a German plot that threatens to expose the
British Empire's very weakest point.
