ADAM HAMDY'An adventure told with skill and wit and quite a lot up its sleeve. Sharp and scary and full of twists and turns.' DAVID QUANTICKTrade ReviewSheer delight . . . This enthralling, playful thriller can be enjoyed for its virtuosic recreation of the period and for its cheeky depiction of Cold War spooks as closer to Derren Brown than George Smiley. Perhaps its chief pleasure, though, is simply the magic it contains, from the beginner's card tricks . . . to grand illusion * The Sunday Times *The affection of Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, an actor and magician, for the period and its magicians, among them Tommy Cooper, shines through in this delightful thriller. * The Times *Two great masters join forces to explosive effect -- Richard OsmanA gripping book that evokes the reality of working magicians . . . A pure delight -- Neil Gaiman[A] serpentine thriller . . . Like Sherlock Holmes, Warlock has a network of useful contacts, including magic shop proprietors, coppers and keenly observant barmaids. But unlike Holmes, he is . . . touchingly vulnerable . . . The theme of magic [is elevated] into something more universal - a matter of survival itself; it also becomes deeply moving. * Spectator *Bond's manipulative trickery - at least with cards - is echoed in The Warlock Effect * Observer *This book is huge fun - gripping, informative and very clever. I didn't want it to end! -- Peter JamesAll the hallmarks of a modern classic, with more twists and turns than the intestinal tract -- Adam KayA delightful historical espionage thriller, packed with arcane secrets of stage magicians and illusionists, peopled with real denizens of the period * Irish Independent *Absolutely joyous, with twists and reveals I never saw coming. This book is in itself a beautiful magic trick. Wonderful. -- Derren BrownIt could have been grown in a vat especially for me . . . Magic tricks and spies . . . I absolutely loved every twist, every turn, every blockbusting cliffhanger -- Steven MoffatI just adored this compulsive, fun, unpredictable and surprisingly tender book -- Jenny ColganA rattling good yarn with humour, action, and the chance to learn a few magicians' secrets. * Peterborough Telegraph *A delicious confection from a pair of devilishly clever minds. -- Steve PembertonThis book is exactly like some of the magic it describes, the odd sleight of hand or false deception wrapped around a terrific mystery. The period atmosphere and the Cold War detail feel like a Le Carré but it's the characters that you really care about. I hope we see a lot more of Louis Warlock -- Ian MooreEdge-of-your-seat stuff . . . Heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure, The Warlock Effect is a fiendish mix of history, humour and horror with a unique combination of Cold War and magic methodology -- SJ BennettA thrilling and ingenious work of wonder. Twisting, evocative and hugely entertaining, The Warlock Effect delivers on every level -- Chris WhitakerA superb story of espionage and human endurance which casts its own vivid spell. In the stage magician Louis Warlock, Nyman and Dyson have created one of fiction's most complex and beguiling heroes -- Jay RaynerThe Warlock Effect is spellbinding. Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman skillfully depict a shadowy world of magic and espionage in this gripping tale that is entertaining, heartfelt and as twisty as any artful stage magician's signature trick. Highly recommended -- Adam HamdyThrilling . . . Both Nyman and Dyson manage to bring the attributes that made them famous to the table, making for a book that blends history, comedy and suspense to exceptionally good effect. Simply billing The Warlock Effect as an espionage thriller would be doing it a disservice: there's far more to take from it than that, as the action takes us across Europe and back, introducing a series of fascinating and complex characters along the way. The plot seems straightforward at first, but then turns on its head, and some clever writing guarantees you'll never see it coming. * Buzz *Prepare to ooh and aah as you are terrified, entertained and bamboozled by this mind-bending, compulsive novel from the co-creators of Ghost Stories. * Saga *

Quercus Publishing Farewell Dinner for a Spy
Book Synopsis"A compelling slice of mid-century espionage that expertly blends history with possibility. All comparisons that will inevitably be made with le Carré are entirely apt" Tim Glister'Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré' Irish Independent1949: William Catesby returns to London in disgrace, accused of murdering a 'double-dipper' the Americans believed to be one of their own. His left-wing sympathies have him singled out as a traitor.Henry Bone throws him a lifeline, sending him to Marseille, ostensibly to report on dockers' strikes and keep tabs on the errant wife of a British diplomat. But there's a catch. For his cover story, he's demobbed from the service and tricked out as a writer researching a book on the Resistance.In Marseille, Catesby is caught in a deadly vice between the CIA and the mafia, who are colluding to fuel the war in Indochina. Swept eastwards to Laos himself, he remains uncertain of the true purpose behind his mission, though he has his suspicions: Bone has murder on his mind, and the target is a former comrade from Catesby's SOE days. The question is, which one.Trade ReviewI've long been a fan of Edward Wilson, whose elegiac novels should be better known . . . This finely written, intelligent work should give you a taste for the Catesby series -- Adam LeBor * Financial Times *A real cut above the usual derring-do James Bond-like spy thrillers, this latest chapter in William Catesby's MI6 career manages the tricky task of being both literate, complex and pulsatingly exciting all at the same time, as well as being chock-a-block with memorably drawn characters. Readers are unlikely to come across a more arresting first chapter in any other book this year * Irish Independent *

Book SynopsisThis is a book about three nations -- their people, customs, history, and struggles to survive. Iran, Israel, and the United States. It shows them at their very best, and very worst. It is about war and peace, honor and corruption, the old ways and new technologies. Above all, it is about the impact of nature and man’s spiritual beliefs upon the fate of the world and its inhabitants.This is a techno-thriller about very real and existing dangers. Many fascinating aspects of science, medicine, space, and the military serve as a framework for a story that, at its heart, is about human beings: their goals, struggles, successes, and failures. About their desires to dominate, and also their need to accommodate one another. About their love – and hatreds – for one another.In the aftermath of a Middle East war, as peace among nations begins to prevail, a series of world famous landmarks are suddenly destroyed, and children savaged, without evidence of how, by whom, and for what reason. Frightened world leaders seek to destroy their historical adversaries. And while they do so, the brutal forces of nature are growing their capabilities for world destruction.As the world fills with chaos, Bill Walker, of the U.S. Special Forces, is assigned the task of finding answers. But he soon finds himself caught between two beautiful women who not only hold the key to uncovering the cause of these world calamities, but also have the power and desire to determine his ultimate fate.

Hodder & Stoughton Traitor: John Shakespeare 4
Book Synopsis*****Part of the bestselling John Shakespeare series of Tudor spy thrillers from Rory Clements, winner of the Ellis Peters Historical Fiction Award*****'[Clements] does for Elizabeth's reign what CJ Sansom does for Henry VIII's' Sunday Times**********The Elizabethan navy has a secret weapon: an optical instrument so powerful it gives England unassailable superiority at sea. Spain will stop at nothing to steal it and seize the two men who understand its secrets - its operative William Ivory, known as the 'Queen's Eye', and its inventor, the maverick magician Dr Dee.With a second Armada threatened, intelligencer John Shakespeare is sent north to escort Dr Dee to safety. But his mission is far from straightforward. Dee's host, the Earl of Derby, cousin to Elizabeth, is dying in agony, apparently poisoned. Who wants him dead and why? What lies behind the lynching of the recusant priest Father Matthew Lamb? And what exactly is the connection between these events and the mysterious and beautiful Lady Eliska? While Shakespeare attempts to untangle a plot that points to treachery at the very highest reaches of government, he also faces serious accusations far closer to home. With so much at stake, must he choose between family and his duty to Queen and country?Moving from the Catholic heartlands of Lancashire to a vagabond camp in the heart of England, and from the deck of Admiral Frobisher's flagship off the Brittany coast to the secret meetings of Elizabeth's closest associates, Traitor is award-winning writer Rory Clements' most intriguing and compelling novel to date.Trade ReviewJohn Shakespeare is one of the great historical sleuths. -- Barry ForshawJohn Shakespeare is one of the great historical sleuths. -- Barry ForshawA colourful history lesson ... exciting narrative twists. * Sunday Telegraph *A colourful history lesson ... exciting narrative twists. * Sunday Telegraph *
