Dear Reader,
I’m thrilled to reveal the UK cover for A SPY LIKE ME, my new international spy action thriller set in the world of James Bond.
A SPY LIKE ME is coming April 25th 🍸⏱️
And here’s me talking a little about the book on a windy mountaintop in the Scottish Highlands 💎🖼️🗻
MI6 have received a vital clue telling them James Bond – missing for over a year – is alive. Meanwhile, a bomb has detonated in BBC Broadcasting House, London. 003, 004 and 000 must smash a smuggling network funding terror. As they move through the world of diamond dealing and art and antiquities looting, from Venice to Crete, Australia to Dubai, they find themselves unexpectedly inching ever closer to Bond, James Bond…
Six days. Three agents. One chance to find James Bond.
