In a time of dangerous international uncertainty the espionage thriller has rarely been so relevant or insightful. Intelligence is the key, and these authors have it.

The assassination of a Russian intelligence officer threatens global disaster in Red Star Down, the sophisticated new spy thriller from DB John. In Kim Sherwood’s A Spy Like Me, James Bond has been captured, and three of MI6’s toughest Double O agents race from Venice to Afghanistan to Dubai to stop the terror.
