DISCOVER A BREATHTAKING COLD WAR SPY THRILLER YOU WON'T WANT TO PUT DOWN.

It’s the mid-1960s, and the Cold War is raging.


In Cumbria, a young aircraft designer is killed under mysterious circumstances, and his fiancée wants answers. She travels to London to visit Alex Swan, a former intelligence officer with MI5. Swan is now running a services investigations department with recently retired Scotland Yard detective, Arthur Gable.

When Kate arrives at Swan’s office she has a harrowing tale. Her fiancé James had been excited to work on a cutting edge warplane being designed by Brinton Aviation. Until one day he stopped mentioning it. Kate sensed something was wrong, but wasn't prepared for the call she received. James has seen the spectres and now they were after him.

Swan starts to poke around. He learns that a company backed by the US Government has taken over part of Brinton Aviation. But why is there an armed guard outside their door? And what are the spectres that James saw?

Swan soon realises he’s onto something big. And before he’s done, will uncover a secret society that dates back to the Revolutionary War. On their agenda, is murder, espionage and a plan that could destroy the British aviation industry forever.

Perfect for fans of John Le Carre, Len Deighton, Ken Follet, Philip Kerr and Eric Ambler.
