Book Synopsis

For fans of Ant Middleton and the BBC's Bodyguard. Read this gripping thriller from former MI5 operative, Tom Marcus, author of the bestselling Soldier Spy.

Matt Logan is an MI5 agent for the British government. Working on the frontline of counter-terrorism in the UK he’s trained to protect its citizens against all threats.

When two brothers known operationally as ‘Iron Sword’ and ‘Stone Fist’ are suspected of plotting a major terrorist event, Logan and his team work undercover to track them down. If they fail, an attack will be unleashed that will rock the country to its very core.

Frustrated by always needing to obey the rules, Logan yearns for a way to break through the red tape that hinders their progress. His wishes seem to come true when he is offered the chance to join a new, deniable outfit known as ‘Blindeye’.

Then devastating news reaches Logan, throwing his world into turmoil. But one thing remains certain, he will join the team and become their fiercest, most ruthless operative . . .

Capture or Kill is the first in Tom Marcus's breathtaking series featuring tortured MI5 operative Matt Logan.



Trade Review
It’s awesome -- Mark Billingham MBE, SAS: Who Dares Wins
Tom mixes tense drama with fascinating insight into the lives of security service operators, to deliver a blistering read -- Jonny Lee Miller
This debut from a former MI5 surveillance operator is one of the most exciting I have read in a long time . . . Every page rings with authenticity, the tension is superbly sustained, and the central character is all too believable: a man wary of the power to kill * Daily Mail *
A non-stop, fast-paced thriller set in contemporary Britain and reeking of authenticity * Independent *
You can’t create authenticity without having lived it. Capture or Kill is spy fiction which is brutally immersive. The most protected author in history - we had to disguise his identity to appear on Sky News - writing one of the best books I’ve ever read. You won’t be disappointed -- Kay Burley
Capture or Kill is certainly one of the most gripping books I've ever read. A thrilling, tough, vivid & rewarding experience from start to finish. Tom's writing is so honest, it opens the book to a whole new audience who may not think a "spy book" is their thing. I can't wait for the next in the series. -- Oliver Phelps
Praise for Soldier Spy: Very well written, gives a startling amount of operational detail, the biggest shock of all - MI5 agreed to its publication * Sunday Times *
Praise for Soldier Spy: A blistering, visceral insight into life on the front line against terror, revealed in remarkable detail * Daily Telegraph *
Praise for Soldier Spy: Startling, absolutely fascinating. a footsoldier's account out on the street. A vivid picture of surveillance * Midweek, Radio 4 *
