Dear Reader,
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY…
I’m so excited to finally lift the curtain on Book 2 in the Double O Series!
A SPY LIKE ME
An elite team of MI6 agents must go undercover to unravel a smuggling network funding violent terror.
Six days. Three agents. One chance to find James Bond.
James Bond is alive.
Or at least, he was when he left a clue at the black site where the insidious private military company Rattenfanger held him captive. MI6 cannot spare any more lives attempting to track down one missing agent-no exceptions, even for Bond. But Johanna Harwood, 003, has her own agenda. Sidelined by her superiors while she grieves the loss of a loved one, Harwood goes on an unsanctioned mission: to find 007. Meanwhile, MI6 has another problem...
A bomb has been detonated in London. Double O agents on the trail of the terrorists responsible acted quickly to prevent mass destruction and save lives. But MI6 failed to neutralize the nation's enemies before they could strike, and one of their own was seriously injured in the blast.
They won't fail again.
Assigned to root out the source of the terrorists' funding, Joseph Dryden, 004, and Conrad Harthrop-Vane, 000, enter the field. Tracing clues from Sotheby's auction house to Crete to Venice, they uncover a money laundering scheme involving diamonds, black market antiquities, and human trafficking. Once a major sale is made, a six-day countdown to the next terror attack begins. As the Double O's follow the twisting trail, they find themselves unexpectedly inching closer to Bond...
After a lifetime of waiting to hear the next Bond movie title and spending countless hours dissecting what it might mean, it’s surreal and super fun to be here.
The title came to me while writing the novel — it appeared organically in dialogue, and it was one of those, hang on a minute… moments. You might recognise a resonance with the title of Fleming’s most atypical Bond novel, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. I’ve always loved the surprising use of first person there. There are other meanings behind the title, but for now those are state secrets…
Thank you so much to the whole Bond community and thriller readers who’ve followed on the journey so far, it means the world to me. I’m so happy to share this next chapter with you.
