Saraband Moscow at Midnight
Book SynopsisMax Rushmore is re-hired by the CIA to return to Moscow and investigate the death of a beautiful nuclear waste disposal expert. But Max, who can drink even the Russians under the table, soon uncovers all sorts of inconsistencies: could it even be that she is not dead at all? So begins a game of cat-and-mouse that takes Max across Russia, from St Petersburg to Novosibirsk, as he follows his only clue: a rare Siberian diamond. With all the breathless tension of classic espionage novels, Moscow at Midnight is both humorous and utterly enthralling - in every sense, a fast-paced pageturner of the old school.Trade Review“This playful spy thriller has Max, out on his ear from the CIA, picking up some dodgy contract work that sends him back to his former stamping ground. But contemporary Russia, where Max finds his old contacts clinging on, turns out to be so deliriously weird and dangerous that Cold War espionage starts to look simply. There’s grimy charm, acerbic wit and an OTT plot – but in Russia these days, you could well believe it.” Sunday Times Crime Club – Star pick for September 2017; “Moscow at Midnight is a highly entertaining contemporary spy thriller. The fast-paced plot and light, easy flow of the narrative is enhanced...by occasional poetic descriptions and McGrane's skillful play with genre conventions... I would highly recommend it for a fun, entertaining read which raises questions in the reader’s mind long after the final page has been turned.” Ann Winter, Mslexia; “Sally McGrane’s fantastic debut . . . is, in its observations and marginalia, a whole-hearted declaration of love for the madness of Russia in general – and Moscow in particular.” Die Welt (book of the week); “A worthy successor to John le Carré ... A fast-paced, well-written spy thriller, full of unexpected twists and turns.” Buchbord; “Great! Tense right up to the final page . . . A multi-layered, thrilling novel that is difficult to resist and hard to put down, from beginning to end.” Süddeutsche Zeitung; "You don't need to compare this book to Le Carré or Forsyth – it stands very comfortably on its own two feet." Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung; “The book is perfect anyone who loves exciting detective and spy stories.”Sankt Michaelsbund; "Novels about Russia written by foreign authors very often are so full of clichés, absurdities and just crap that usually I avoid reading them. Sally McGrane’s book is different. This journalist-turned-writer knows Russia well – and is sharing her knowledge generously." Boris Akunin; “Sally McGrane made it feel so genuine that for a moment we really believed in the existence of blue diamonds discovered in Siberia on orders from Stalin. Outstanding.” Irina Borogan and Andrei Soldatov, authors of The Red Web; "Everyone's talking about Russia but this is a book that really takes you there, a crime thriller with a truly documentary eye, full of insights about Russian people, politics and culture- while never failing to intrigue and excite" Peter Pomerantsev, author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible.

ACA Publishing Limited The Spring in Winter: Volume 1
Book SynopsisHow many decades does a man have to run to extricate himself from the consequences of a troubled past? A guerrilla act many years ago still has repercussions for Yu Erlong and his family, colleagues and rivals. From the death of a comrade 30 years ago, to family life and political rivalries, Yu Erlong strives to be fair and just, even when others have less honourable intentions, motivated by personalities and acts separated by many decades. The struggle of a grandfather and grandson to capture a prized red carp mirrors the battle of wits needed when encountering adversaries who reappear after many years. The memories of Luhua, the love he lost, the new life he makes for himself around Stone lake, his friends and his foes, are all beautifully choreographed in Spring in Winter. Spring in Winter, originally published in Chinese in 1981 when it won the prestigious 'Mao Dun Literature Prize', was one of the first novels in China to use the 'stream of consciousness technique' more often seen in Western literature. Author Li Guowen interweaves his enchanting tale against the dramatic backdrop of decades of struggle and fighting that prevailed in China from 1937 until after the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976.

ACA Publishing Limited Spring in Winter: Volume 2
Book SynopsisFollowing heroic victories on the battlefield, a former soldier faces his greatest challenge from the enemy within. Yu Erlong, a veteran guerrilla captain of the Chinese Communist Party, returns to a remote place to confront his past.

It was also the scene of the shooting of his beloved wife, Luhua. Thirty years after that cowardly murder, Erlong, with flowers in hand, is determined to find Luhua's remains and solve the mystery of who pulled the trigger. The second volume of Li Guowen's award-winning Spring in Winter explores a web of personal relationships against the backdrop of four decades of tumultuous political change in China, from the civil war in the 1930s to the end of the Cultural Revolution in the 1970s.

RedDoor Press Coincidence of Spies
Book SynopsisWinter 1981. Poland is in turmoil. The Communist regime is close to collapse and the CIA wants to help it on its way. They ask for MI6 assistance but insist the MI6 Station in Warsaw is not involved. Why not? And who will the Americans accept? MI6 agent Thomas Dylan is sent from Moscow. His wife has just witnessed a murder and the Russian authorities want her out of the country. But when Thomas and Julia arrive in Warsaw the bullets start to fly. Two American agents disappear near the Polish lakes, a terrified Polish sailor jumps ship in Middlesbrough and a Polish peasant claims to have found the lost crown of a medieval King. Somebody needs to work out what's happening. And quickly. Because back in London a KGB killer is on the loose. AUTHOR: Brian Landers started writing newspaper columns to help pay his university bar bills and since then has written articles for various journals, newspapers and websites. He was once interviewed for a job at the government spy agency GCHQ in Cheltenham but decided that travelling the world would be more exciting. His first full time role was helping a former Director General of Defence Intelligence and a motley collection of ex-spooks set up a political intelligence unit in the City of London. Out of this sprang the character of Thomas Dylan, a novice who over the years progresses through the labyrinthine world of British Intelligence. Later, as a director of Waterstone's and then of Penguin his love of writing was rekindled. His first book, Empires Apart was published in the UK, US and India and was largely written while commuting to work. He has an MBA from London Business School and in 2018 he was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.

V & Q Books Odesa at Dawn: 2022
Book SynopsisEx-CIA man Max Rushmore travels to a still-peaceful Odesa on routine assignment. But things veer off course when the severed hand of the local governor shows up in a vat of sunflower oil. Max stumbles across a solitary toe, with the same tell-tale markings. The downsized professional can't help himself - he has to investigate. With the Russian threat in the background, Max's quest takes him down to the crumbling underbelly of the beautiful Black Sea port city, once the Russian Empire's glittering third capital. It leads him to dubious businessmen, corrupt officials, catacomb dwellers, scientists, pastry-chefs, poets, archivists, cops - and killers. As global political tensions rise, Max begins to untangle the threads of the case. But he is also being tracked - and not just by Odesa's network of mafia-minded stray cats, who may be the only ones who really know what's going on. In this surreal contemporary spin on the classic spy thriller, Sally McGrane pays tribute to one-time Odesa residents like Babel, Gogol, Pushkin and Chekhov, creating a darkly witty, beguiling and bizarre work of fiction like nothing before. Tokarczuk meets Bulgakov meets Le Carre, in this affectionate portrait of a complex and fascinating city. "Odesa at Dawn lives in that special place where noir meets the absurd. If you cherish that space - and why wouldn't you? - this book is for you." Dan Vyleta, author of Soot and Smoke; "By turns sober, then wild and mysterious, with occasional excursions into the fantastic. As if Lewis Carroll's Alice and Isaac Babel's legendary gangster Benya Krik had met up for new tales from Odesa." Peter Koerte, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung; "A political thriller with feline protagonists? Can that possibly work? It shouldn't, but in the case of Sally McGrane's Odesa at Dawn it does. Very well, in fact." Deutschlandfunk KulturTrade Review"As befits any book set in Odesa, Sally McGrane's smart new thriller bristles with dark humour, slinking along and zigzagging through its plot like one of the city's streetwise felines. Come for the story, but don't forget to take in the sights." Boris Dralyuk, poet and translator of Isaac Babel

A new star has arrived in the thriller firmament” The Times, Book of the Month “A seriously stylish, hugely compelling mystery: Charlotte Philby redefines a male-dominated genre with her brilliantly complex female characters. I was utterly gripped.” – Lucy Foley, author the author of the Reese Witherspoon book club pick The Guest List “A Double Life confirms Charlotte Philby as the master of a sub-genre she basically invented, dealing in the dangerous area where working motherhood and international espionage collide. Heart-breaking, gripping and always beautifully written, I can’t wait to see what she does next.” – Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said “I fell into the vivid, frightening world Charlotte Philby creates so skillfully and didn't resurface until long after I'd turned the last page. Her characters are so real you genuinely fret over their safety in their jobs and personal lives. Everything about this book feels as plausible as if it might happen tomorrow. She is a hugely original and talented writer.” – Jane Casey “Philby is creating her own niche of beautifully observed, fast-paced, multi-layered novels… In Gabriela and Isobel, Philby develops two fascinating characters who have to face challenges that women the world over will recognise, but rarely get to read about on the page. A Double Life is a wonderful novel.” – Holly Watt, winner of the 2019 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger. “I like a novel where the intrepid investigative journalist and the Foreign Office rising star are both women. And where two separate stories eventually converge around a conspiracy that touches the very top of the establishment and destroys everything” Evening Standard
