"Readers will find John Mordred to be one of the most appealing characters in fiction today." - Publisher's Daily.
"John Mordred comes alive on the page and is a character readers will not soon forget." - The Booklife Review.
After a chance skirmish with an armed killer in central London, agent John Mordred ends up in hospital, condition critical.
Six weeks and a full recovery later, he's persuaded it's purely a police matter, so one he should forget about.
But nothing in MI7 is ever that simple. There's more to this particular incident than meets the eye and unnamed people in high places want it investigating. They believe Mordred's the man for the job.
Add to the mix five missing IMF officials, the kidnapping of a top British financier in Venezuela, evidence of a related cover-up in Whitehall, a young and unpredictable London Lord Mayor with acute delusions of grandeur, plus - most bizarrely - persistent rumours of local UFO sightings, and things threaten to spin radically out of control.
Suddenly, Mordred's life is on the line again. And, perhaps predictably, those "unnamed persons in high places" are beginning to seem the flat opposite of friends.

The last instalment in the Tales of MI7 series!
Ruby's Parker's retirement hangs like a dark cloud over MI7. She herself has only a vague idea what the future might hold - both personally, and in terms of national security. But for many of her team, she's irreplaceable. To cap it all, there's a massive organisational overhaul on the cards at Thames House. Everyone's nervous, and with good reason.
In the middle of all this uncertainty, there's an assassin at large. He's already murdered a British returnee from Syria who claimed to have 'information' about the latest Russian plot to destabilise Western Europe. He may also be pursuing her sole British confidante. And he's definitely seeking an American secret servicewoman named Daisy Hallenbeck. There are reasons to think Daisy knows precisely what's going on but, disturbingly, she seems to have fallen off the map. Not even the US embassy knows where she is.
John Mordred is assigned to investigate. He finds himself up against the clock in a completely unconventional way. Among his top priorities is that Ruby Parker doesn't leave MI7 with the words 'unsolved case' against her name.
