The Righteous Spy cover

Innocent lives are at risk. But who is the real enemy...?

INNOCENT LIVES ARE AT RISK... BUT WHO IS THE REAL ENEMY?

Eli Amiran is Mossad's star spy runner and the man responsible for bringing unparalleled intelligence to the Israeli agency. Now, he's leading an audacious operation in the UK that feeds his ambition but threatens his conscience.

The British and the Americans have intel Mossad desperately need. To force MI6 and the CIA into sharing their priceless information, Eli and his maverick colleague Rafi undertake a risky mission to trick their allies: faking a terrorist plot on British soil.

But in the world of espionage, the game is treacherous, opaque and deadly...

Ambiguous, intricate and deliberately deceptive, The Righteous Spy should satisfy any true espionage enthusiast. It's the literary equivalent of a painstaking jigsaw puzzle: one where you can't see the true picture until the very last piece is in place -- Rowena Hoseason * Murder Mayhem and More *
There is no black and white just varying shades of grey, this is the twilight zone all good spy novels should reflect. Gripping and well written, fans of a serious spy fiction will love this -- Paul Burke * NB Magazine *
Le Carre meets Homeland - The Righteous Spy is a must read for fans of fast paced and intelligent thrillers -- Leigh Russell, author of the million-copy selling DI Geraldine Steel series
Intriguing and atmospheric. Merle Nygate is a writer to watch -- Charles Cumming
A tense, compelling thriller, The Righteous Spy combines the high drama of a spy story with a clear-eyed telling of the grubby compromises and betrayals that are the reality of agents' lives. With vividly drawn characterisation and a gripping plot, I couldn't put it down -- Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange
