Spies and Other Gods
£20.00The Head of British Intelligence is having a bad day. Only six months off retirement and Sir William Rentoul is wondering if he’ll make it that far, what with the sudden descent of a brain fog dense enough to turn every day into a series of small humiliations. To make matters worse, Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee – the body that oversees Sir William – has received an anonymous complaint from one of his officers. Sir William dimly recalls accepting that there should be a channel for whistle-blowers, but he never expected that they would pick his most sensitive case, one involving an Iranian assassin and a trail of dead bodies, or that the person who turned up to poke their nose into his files should be a lowly parliamentary researcher named Aphra McQueen, who displays smarts, tenacity and rebelliousness in unsettling measures. Aphra seems to know more about the operation than she is letting on. What will she uncover?

Appointment in Paris
£20.00April 1940, and Britain is in turmoil. Chamberlain’s government is faltering, and a German invasion may be only weeks away. A body, wearing the uniform of a Luftwaffe captain, is found in the grounds of Trent Park – a stately home and now a prison to house high level German POWs. Trent Park’s true purpose, however, is intelligence, gathered covertly from prisoners by secret listeners. The morning after the discovery of the body, one of the listeners goes missing, along with a gun from the firing range. Horrified that this could blow the highly confidential operation wide open, the missing man must be tracked down. Cue Harry Fox, a former MI5 Watcher, now suspended. He is desperate to assist the war effort but he’s over the conscription age. Then his former boss gets in touch with a job for him, to track down the missing man.
