Ted Bailey thought his days as an Intelligence Operative were long gone. He certainly wasn''t expecting to be blackmailed back into action, especially not by his own side. But then Bailey is the only person left who ever encountered Berger, the KGB''s most ruthless master-spy. Berger is running a major operation on US soil and both the CIA and SIS are desperate to track him down. So Bailey returns to the arena of international espionage and finds that little has changed. The spy game is just the same, even after twenty-five years. There''s the same brutality. The same cold fear. The same violence and death. And the same choice of enemies.''The best cold war espionage novels never really lose their punch: Allbeury, like le Carré, is a master of the genre.'' - Publishers Weekly

A long buried and shocking secret has been uncovered. In 1940, President Roosevelt and Canada''s Mackenzie King secretly agreed to abandon the Allies and make peace with Hitler if the Nazis successfully invaded Britain. Decades later, Soviet agents are ready to use this information to shatter the NATO alliance and use the ensuing geopolitical chaos to strengthen their position in Europe. Only one man stands in their way. Tadeusz Anders - half Polish, half English and totally professional - plunges into a series of cruel and violent manoeuvers to combat the cold-blooded operatives of the KGB.

Germany, 1945. British agent Stephen Felinski is parachuted into Hitler''s fast-collapsing empire with orders to reorganize a group of Soviet agents abandoned by Moscow. Thirty years later, a top British politician defects to the Russians and Felinski is called out of retirement to help - because of a friendship formed among the ruins of Nazi Germany. The link is The Special Collection, a daring and meticulously planned Soviet attempt to bring social and industrial chaos to Britain. It has already been set in motion and only Stephen Felinski can stop it.

What does a man do when he discovers a process like Omega Minus? He wishes he hadn''t. Scientist James Hallet has the Intelligence forces of all the world''s major powers on his back and they''re not too particular about how they get their information. They wouldn''t, for instance, baulk at the kidnap and torture of Hallet''s beautiful blonde mistress. Not if it would give them Omega Minus.''A classic of espionage fiction with the ingredients to keep you reading all night long'' - Len Deighton

A Russian actor on the KGB payroll... A middle aged wife with a fatal sense of guilt...A seductive Slav beauty, fuel for an ageing diplomat''s sexual fantasies...A severely compromised British ambassador to Moscow who will return to Britain as the Prime Minister''s personal advisor...Their shadowy dance has begun to a tune of betrayal, disillusionment and death, and a nation''s fate hangs in the balance.''A truly classic writer of espionage fiction'' - Len Deighton

Maverick CIA killers are on the loose in Cold War era West Germany. Violent sabotage and subversion is being perpetrated behind the Iron Curtain. A right-wing terror-organisation with connections stretching back to the Nazi era is suspected. David Mills had long since left behind his life as an Intelligence Officer, or so he thought. As the British and American Intelligence agencies struggle to combat the mounting fascist threat, Mills is pulled back into the murky world of International espionage by a figure from his past.

In a building just like The White House, deep inside Russia, a man is provided with top-secret CIA briefing documents, American newspapers, radio and television programmes. His training will continue until he can think exactly like the President of the United States of America, and know how he will react in a crisis. A crisis the Kremlin has already set in motion...

Routine surveillance, nothing special'' - Commander Bailey''s brief from Special Branch seems simple enough. But it leads to a sudden, bloody suicide. Piece-by-piece, Baily uncovers the history of a courageous special agent aiding the French Resistance during WWII. But the agent''s loyalties are fatally divided. Thirty years on, in a quiet flat in south London, the final, tragic act of the drama takes place...THE LANTERN NETWORK is a gripping story of heroism and betrayal in Nazi-occupied France from a genuine craftsman of the thriller genre.''A grimly realistic story of patriotism, treachery and fierce courage of men and women who defy torture and death'' - Daily Telegraph

To live in the shadowland of espionage, where the only certainties are death and deceit, is to live on the lonely margins. The French Resistance brought James Harmer and Jane Frazer together. The Gestapo broke them apart. But it was something else that shattered their love and left them haunted by a sense of betrayal and a thirst for revenge.

Even in the murky world of espionage there are rules. Tad Anders has broken them all. Too violent and too unpredictable, he let his feelings affect his ability to do his duty. The spymasters looked at his file, talked discreetly amongst themselves and quietly pensioned him off as too dangerous for regular use. But now the other side is breaking the rules: KGB-organised assassinations, the ruthless hunting down of defectors, kidnappings - in Vienna, Paris, Cologne and now London. A revenge operation is called for. An East Berlin abduction under the noses of the Russians, done by an agent who can be disowned if anything goes wrong...Tad Anders is needed again.
