maid of honour at the Queen's coronation. Out of her comfort zone
with an assignment that reminds her she is the daughter of a
viscount, and out of her depth with the silent men in her life, she
takes refuge in an archeological expedition, but a chance meeting
leads to a trip that will force Max to face the most frightening
moments of her career while trying to protect those she loves. The
unmissable conclusion to the Max Falkland Trilogy.

War thriller progresses, Max finds herself in increasing danger,
but three weeks after the events of Cold Crash, the point at which
The Running Lie begins, Max has found an archaeological dig in
London and John Knox has entered her life. But even now, can he be
trusted? Max encounters both skulls and sexism on the dig site at
the bombed out shell of St. Bride's Church in London. A family
request sends her to the Berlin International Film Festival, away
from the dig and her growing relationship with John Knox. But after
she sees John in Berlin with another woman, Max forces him to
confess he is an American spy. When his current case collides with
her family life, Max has to find a way to navigate layers of lies.
As fireworks explode for the Fourth of July party, Max must make a
dangerous choice if she wants to save both John and her family. The
Running Lie is a page-turning Cold War spy thriller that reboots
old school cloak and dagger - Max Falkland is the James Bond of the
21st Century.

For archaeologist Maxine 'Max' Falkland, life in early-50s London
is difficult enough as she tries to move on from the death of her
brother, an RAF pilot shot down over Korea. But, when she meets
John Knox things get more complicated, before they get outright
dangerous. Flying her light plane to Scotland, Max overhears
whispered arguments in Russian coming from the next-door room and
sees lights across the moors that appear to answer flashes from the
sea. Add the mysterious malfunction of her plane and she has a lot
to confide when she encounters the enigmatic Richard Ash, a local
landowner and recluse. But when Knox unexpectedly reappears and a
dive goes disastrously wrong, Max must act fast as she finds
herself in the middle of a Soviet military plot. An accomplished
debut novel from a US voice writing in the UK, Cold Crash is
fast-paced with enthralling characters and perfect detail.
