Synopsis
THE SECOND BOOK IN THE GRIPPING SPY THRILLER SERIES FEATURING MI6'S MARK WOLFE - now available to pre-order in hardback, eBook and audiobook.
Mark Wolfe, as MI6's Senior Consultant, is an overqualified yet undervalued part-timer at Vauxhall House, but an attack on his life in his own home brings the reality of working for Six back into dangerous focus. Especially when his would-be assassin is purported to be working for il Fantasma, a man Mark was sent to kill in 1989, inaugurating a war between opposing mafiosi in order to break the Russian stranglehold of illegal operations in Naples and Capri.
As the murders of Service personnel connected to his old mission mount, Mark travels back into his own past and, paired with a rookie asset in southern Italy, begins to question just how much faith MI6 still have in an analogue spy in a digital world. With rumours of a mole in London, and his fractured family dragged into acts of twisted vengeance, Mark must finally complete a mission from yesteryear that was never put to bed once the Cold War thawed.
Praise for Paul Warner's Mark Wolfe series:
'Terrifying - if you have children you'll never see them the same way again' - RORY CLEMENTS, Sunday Times bestselling author of Evil in High Places
'This explosive debut shifts from the shadowy streets of London to the freezing mountains of the Hindu Kush, powered by double-crosses, brutal action and last-resort adrenaline. An expertly thrown knife of a spy novel that slips the blade between your ribs when you least expect it' - DAVID GOODMAN, award-winning author of A Reluctant Spy
