Julie, a young doctor, is running late. She is about to pick up her daughter from school close to the City of London when there is an explosion. Sirens shriek. A police van tells everyone to take cover from radiation. She huddles in a shop with strangers -City workers, an Asian girl, an American, a Russian beauty therapist and a mysterious Chechen. Were any of them involved in the attack? Is she contaminated -and will the radiation spread to the school? As she helps the victims she is terrified about her daughter. As a second strike looms, fear engulfs the nation. Will what Julie learnt that day help MI5 prevent another attack? 'This dark book has a firm grip on the subterranean currents at work in our society....' Michael Burleigh

A State of Fear: A Novel

'Riveting and intriguing.'
Jung Chang, Wild Swans.

A bloody insurrection in China's turbulent New Silk Road province. The Guoanbu, the counter-intelligence agency, invites MI5 to interrogate a captured British gunrunner. The task falls to Tony Underwood, who finds himself sucked into an investigation into a terrorist spectacular, alongside American and Russian security men.
Caught between his duties to a British citizen and the threat of the attack going ahead, Tony becomes lost in a labyrinth of lies and double-dealing. At the same time his discovery of China makes him question his values, and role in the intelligence world.
With its insights into historical antagonisms and contemporary China, and atmospheric portrayal of its remote Northwest, which the author knows, The China Maze is a highly original, sophisticated and up-to-the-minute Oriental thriller.
Previous praise for the trilogy: 'Intelligent… in the tradition of Frederick Forsyth.' The Times
