'A terrific future-shock thriller' LEE CHILD

The person he's ordered to kill,
is the one woman he wants to protect.

Michael North, assassin and spy-for-hire, is very good at killing bad guys. But what happens when his shadowy bosses at the dark heart of the British government order him to kill a good woman instead?

Rising political star, Honor Jones, MP, is asking dangerous questions about the men running her country. Questions that have put a target on her back.

North's intuition tells him she's innocent. In a widespread game of power and betrayal, North will need to find his allies – fast. But with a bullet lodged in his brain, can he even trust himself?

Perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Lee Child and Mark Dawson, Killing State is the explosive start to an action-packed thriller series from a Sunday Times bestselling author.
