About the Book

'Think of Ruth Rendell morphing into John le Carré' Daily Express ___________________ The railway station is heaving with rush-hour commuters when the bomb goes off. In the subsequent enquiry, serious questions are asked of Jake Winter, the British Intelligence Officer responsible for preventing the attack. Especially when it transpires that the bomber was his agent. With his conscience - and his career - in tatters, Jake's hopes rest on his new recruit, a young British-Asian man named Rashid. Recently returned disillusioned from the Middle East, and now enlisted into a new terrorist plot, Rashid seems to be the answer Jake, and MI5, have been waiting for. But how can Jake know for certain when Rashid is his only source? Is history about to repeat itself or has Jake lost his nerve, haunted by his last mistake? After all, who can you trust, when you no longer trust yourself? ___________________ ***PRAISE FOR NICHOLAS SEARLE*** 'It reminded me strongly of John le Carre ... this is high praise' Daily Mail 'Unbearably tense' Daily Telegraph 'You will have your socks knocked, nay, blown off' Stylist

About the Author :
Nicholas Searle is the author of three novels. His first novel, The Good Liar, was a Sunday Times bestseller and was shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger for the best debut crime novel. Before becoming a writer, Nicholas worked in British intelligence for more than twenty-five years. He lives in Yorkshire.

Review :
Searle has fun with the office politics of the intelligence world, and is thoughtful about the ethics of espionage . . . it seems something akin to poetry can be the best medium for expressing the practicalities of the hard-nosed business of espionage. Meticulously plotted, with wonderfully drawn characters and an elegant prose style that makes this every bit as compelling as Searle's stirring debut A thought-provoking read that bursts with tension A spy thriller with extra authority Former intelligence officer turned crime writer Searle is stepping into the gap left by John le Carré An assured thriller debut in the footsteps of le Carré, Highsmith and Rendell This is set to be one of the books of the year that will get everyone talking ... you will have your socks knocked, nay, blown off All the ingredients are in this book...You're in safe hands with Searle's elegant writing Unbearably tense 'It reminded me strongly of John le Carré ... this is high praise'
