Shadowplay is a masterful combination of breathtaking pace and
intricate characterisation, which moves from New York to London,
via St Tropez and Rome. John Railton is President of the
prestigious World News Agency and he is in serious trouble. He is
fighting a bitter power struggle against Paul Sellinger, Chief
Executive of the corporation with which his agency has just been
merged. While Sellinger tries to involve Railton in a sex scandal,
the CIA targets him as a suspect when vital information is leaked
to the Russians about a new missile project. Railton runs the
gauntlet of murder, sabotage and blackmail to clear his name, only
to discover that the real spy may be one of the two women he still
loves - his former mistress Seagull, and Nancy, his ex-wife who is
married to his deadly rival. Press Reviews 'A fascinating,
fast-moving tale of espionage and sexual intrigue. Skilfully
crafted.. a real page-turner. The Guardian A thriller about love,
betrayal and spying with the genuine nightmare touch, set in the
world of international journalism. The Times 'What a superb novel
The concept is brilliant and frightening, the story-telling
dazzling.' Western Daily Press 'Brilliant, tense and
sinister...hard as nails in attitude and a real trip.' The Scotsman
A racy read combined with plenty of excitement and insights into
how spies and journalists live side by side. She
