About this ebook
"A multipronged spy thriller that fires on all cylinders" featuring a British agent facing down government conspiracy (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
In a world of lies, one man wants the truth.
Journalist Philip Mangan is trying to stay out of trouble in East Africa, his reputation and his life in tatters. But when he is caught in a terrorist attack and a shadowy Chinese figure approaches him in the dead of night with information on the origins of the attack, Mangan is suddenly back in the eye of the storm.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on a humid Hong Kong night, a key British Intelligence source is murdered minutes after meeting spy Trish Patterson. From Washington, D.C. to the hallowed halls of Oxford University and dusty African streets, a sinister power is stirring, one which will use Mangan and Patterson as pawns—if they survive.
Deeply steeped in tension and paranoia, Adam Brookes's second novel is a remarkable, groundbreaking spy thriller.
"Brookes shows that his impressive debut was no fluke, and readers will look forward to Mangan's next adventure." ― Publishers Weekly
"[Adam Brookes] does an excellent job of keeping the action moving and the tension high, making Spy Games a difficult book to put down." ― Los Angeles Review of Books
"A rich, can't-put-it-down thriller . . . terrific." ―Joseph Kanon, New York Times bestselling author of Shanghai
