The New Spy

A ROOKIE AGENT. A TICKING CLOCK. A PLOT TO IGNITE WORLD CHAOS.

Named one of the year's best spy books by Tim Shipman, Political Editor of The Sunday Times: "It's terrific. Hugely propulsive, a gutsy lead, a genuine sense of peril, and a punchy conclusion."

With graduation days away, MI5 trainee Jo Batten is thrust into a deadly mission only a veteran should face. The countdown is on, and failure isn’t an option.

The UK’s enemies have set their plan in motion: a series of coordinated attacks designed to kill thousands and paralyze a nation. Even the most seasoned operatives are stretched to the breaking point. For Jo—still technically a trainee—the assignment is beyond impossible.

But the danger doesn’t end with the terrorists. From the shadows emerges a ghost from Britain’s past—an adversary with a personal vendetta and a blueprint for global war.

With only an anonymous hacker and a retired spy as allies, Jo must rely on raw instinct and sheer nerve. Every step she takes could be her last. Every decision could trigger catastrophe.
