"Tautly written, cleverly plotted...it reminded me strongly of the
early books of John le Carre" -- Robert Harris, author of "The
Ghost" and "Fatherland" "Charles Cumming is a man put on earth to
perpetuate the spy thriller." "--The Daily Telegraph" ..".supremely
intelligent and utterly readable...Smartly paced and intricately
plotted, Cumming's decidedly unglamorous look at industrial
espionage provides plenty of elaborate deceits, double crosses and
other trappings of a first-class spy thriller." --"Publishers
Weekly "(starred review)
Alec Milius, a recent graduate of the London School of Economics,
is young, smart, and a bit of a slacker, stuck in a shady job and
suffering from a lack of direction. So, when an old family friend
offers to put him up for a job in British Intelligence, Alec begins
the rigorous selection process for SIS or MI6. Though he doesn't
officially make the cut, he is funneled into a prime position at a
British oil company with interests in the Caspian Sea. He is
directed to befriend Fortner Grice and Katharine Simms, two
charismatic employees of Andromeda, a rival American oil firm.
Lured into the murky world of industrial espionage, Millius finds
himself trapped in a life of secrets and lies, manipulated by MI6
and the CIA, and confronted by the reality of a ruthless business
environment in which priceless information can come at the cost of
human life. Compellingly told, utterly authentic, and
heart-racingly tense, "A Spy By Nature "will grip you until the
very last page.
A Sunday Times top ten bestseller perfect for fans of John le
Carre, from the winner of the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for Best
Thriller of the Year and 'the master of the modern spy thriller'
(Mail on Sunday). A NEW COLD WAR IS LOOMING Former MI6 officer
Thomas Kell thought he was done with spying. Until the Russian
agent he blames for the death of his girlfriend is spotted at a Red
Sea resort - in dangerous company. ONE SPY WANTS REVENGE Taking the
law into his own hands, Kell embarks on a mission to recruit his
rival. Only to find himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse
in which it becomes increasingly difficult to know who is playing
whom. THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL As the mission reaches boiling point,
rumours of a terrorist attack suggest a massacre on Britain soil is
imminent. Kell is faced with an impossible choice. Loyalty to MI6 -
or to his own conscience?
Six years ago, after working for the British Secret Intelligence
Service, Alec Milius got out of the spy game after being drummed
out by MI6. His retirement came at unbearably great personal cost.
But just because he's walked away from the life, it doesn't mean
that that life has walked away from him.
Now living in exile in Madrid, quietly and as far under the radar
as possible, Milius keeps a constant eye out for the enemies he
made, hoping to avoid any future involvement. Yet when a prominent
Basque politician goes missing under suspicious circumstances,
Milius soon finds himself embroiled in another international
conspiracy.
Introduced in "A Spy by Nature," Alec Milius returns in "The
Spanish Game," a compelling, modern espionage novel from a writer
widely acclaimed as a modern master of the form.

A "Washington Post" Notable Fiction Book for 2011
The most closely-guarded secret of the Cold War is about to be
exposed - the identity of a SIXTH member of the infamous Cambridge
spy ring. And people are killing for it...
London, 1992. Late one night, Edward Crane, 76, is declared dead
at a London hospital. An obituary describes him only as a
'resourceful career diplomat'. But Crane was much more than that -
and the circumstances surrounding his death are far from what they
seem.
Fifteen years later, academic Sam Gaddis needs money. When a
journalist friend asks for his help researching a possible sixth
member of the notorious Trinity spy ring, Gaddis knows that she's
onto a story that could turn his fortunes around. But within hours
the journalist is dead, apparently from a heart attack.
Taking over her investigation, Gaddis trails a man who claims to
know the truth about Edward Crane. Europe still echoes with decades
of deadly disinformation on both sides of the Iron Curtain. And as
Gaddis follows a series of leads across the continent, he
approaches a shocking revelation - one which will rock the
foundations of politics from London to Moscow...
"Cumming's novel is characterized by a gripping sense of
realism. He displays a vast knowledge of spycraft and Cold War
history, and the dense, three-dimensional world he crafts comes
complete with seedy hotels and smoky nightclubs. The result is
absolutely gripping. Taut, atmospheric and immersive--an instant
classic." - "Kirkus Reviews" (starred review) on "The Trinity
Six"
