INTRODUCING THE SEQUEL TO THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DEBUT NIGHT HERON...

The British journalist, Philip Mangan, is lying low in East Africa. His other life - as an agent of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service - is known to the Chinese. His reputation and his life are in tatters. But Mangan is caught in a horrific terrorist attack in Ethiopia. And when a shadowy Chinese figure approaches him to proffer information on the origins of the attack, Mangan is catapulted back into espionage. 

Thousands of miles away on a humid Hong Kong night, a key British Intelligence source is killed minutes after meeting SIS officer Trish Patterson. 

In an Oxford college, a young man approaches a young woman - and sets off a lethal contest of will. 

In Washington and London, in Africa and South-East Asia, Chinese power is stirring - a power that will use Mangan and Patterson as its pawns - if they survive.

Steeped in tension and paranoia, author Adam Brookes's follow-up to his award-nominated debut is a remarkable, groundbreaking spy thriller.

Spy Games is the second in the Philip Mangan series, beginning with Night Heron and following up Spy Games with The Spy’s Daughter.
