AN EXHILARATING ADVENTURE THRILLER WITH HEART-STOPPING TWISTS.

Someone betrayed him.
They wiped out his entire unit.
And now they’re coming for him too.


British secret service agent Harry Gibson arrives late at the designated safe-house in Prague to find his three colleagues murdered.

Shot dead, execution-style. He recognizes the handiwork of two counter-intelligence ‘cleaners’. But why would they betray him?

Harry can’t hang around to find out — not unless he wants to become the fourth corpse.

He heads for safety in the Orkney Islands, to lay low until he can find out who ordered the kills. But every bolthole he reaches is shut down. From inside the secret service.

Harry Gibson must RUN FOR HOME.

MEET HARRY GIBSON, a Northumberland-born agent for the British Secret Service, living in Prague. Torn between his home nation of the UK (the country that made him the man he is), and his adopted home in the Czech Republic (the country that welcomed him with open arms), Harry knows where his loyalties lie. His loved ones come first, always. His seven-year-old daughter Lisa is his whole world.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.
