Description

On the run from the CIA, intelligence operative Will Cochrane heads to the U.S. to uncover a diabolical spymaster at the center of an international conspiracy in this thrilling follow up to Slingshot.

When Will Cochrane encounters a Russian spymaster—codenamed Antaeus—who everyone believes is dead, he is thrust into a deadly game set in motion by powerful players deep inside the U.S. intelligence community. Will has worked with the CIA for years and knows them all. But now he knows there's no one he can trust.

His orders from Langley are clear: ANTAEUS MUST NOT BE TOUCHED. FURTHER INQUIRIES REQUIRE PROJECT FERRYMAN CLEARANCE. But as Antaeus and his men then attempt to execute the CIA's best agents, Will decides to take his own shot at the spymaster, knowing it will make him a marked man.

Now, the only way to save his career—and his life—is to get into the U.S. and expose the truth about Project Ferryman. But to accomplish that he's got to outmaneuver four deadly Russian assassins and an elite FBI team controlled by shadowy officials who will stop at nothing to keep their sins and secrets safe.

      • bioText:

        As an MI6 field officer, Matthew Dunn recruited and ran agents, coordinated and participated in special operations, and acted in deep-cover roles throughout the world. He operated in environments where, if captured, he would have been executed. Dunn was trained in all aspects of intelligence collection, deep- cover deployments, small arms, explosives, military unarmed combat, surveillance, and infiltration.

        Medals are never awarded to modern MI6 officers, but Dunn was the recipient of a rare personal commendation from the secretary of state for work he did on one mission, which was deemed so significant that it directly influenced the success of a major international incident.

        During his time in MI6, Matthew conducted approximately seventy missions. All of them were successful. He currently lives in England, where he is at work on his next novel.

        Dunn's exciting fourth Spycatcher novel (after 2013's Slingshot) finds Will Cochrane, the extraordinary agent who serves both the CIA and MI6, in the Norwegian Arctic, where his job is to protect Ellie Hallowes, the "CIA's best deep-cover officer," and her Russian informant, code name Herald. When armed intruders interrupt the meeting between Ellie and Herald at a log cabin, Cochrane, who's on guard nearby, receives orders from his superiors via remote phone not to interfere, even though he can see one of the armed men is about to shoot Ellie. By electing to try to save Ellie's life, he threatens a secret operation known as Project Ferryman, and his only choices are to flee or to face his handlers. Cochrane's few allies are almost helpless as he treks back from Norway to Washington, D.C., against incredible odds and obstacles. The powerful men behind Project Ferryman pull out all the stops to get Cochrane, as does the wily Russian SVR officer known as Antaeus. Great action sequences and a clever if complicated plot make this a satisfying read. Agent: Luigi Bonomi, Luigi Bonomi Associates (U.K.).

        October 15, 2014
        Former MI6 insider Dunn chronicles another deep and intense thriller that feels authentic in terms of how it conveys the spy world. This time Will Cochrane receives an assignment that he believes is beneath his abilities: he's asked to babysit an agent who is meeting with her informant. During the meeting, Cochrane waits in visual range but expects to do nothing but complain afterward. When men arrive to assassinate the agent and her source, however, Cochrane goes into action. Realizing that the instigator of the violence is someone assumed dead, he asks for permission to take him out. To Cochrane's horror, he is denied the pleasure. Going against orders, he tries to stop the killer, which forces Cochrane to live off the grid while he searches for answers. Dunn has crafted another winner in this fine series. The world of spy fiction has a writer who deserves comparison to Ludlum and Fleming.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)

        Number four in Dunn’s Spycatcher series (after 2013’s Slingshot) features MI6/CIA task force operative Will Cochrane, who lacks James Bond’s gadgets but relies on encyclopedic knowledge, physical prowess, and an off-the-charts degree of self-sufficiency that even Jack Reacher would envy. His new adventure begins in Norway, where he defies orders to stand down while Russian assassins attempt to execute CIA agent Ellie Hallows. By trying to save Ellie’s life, he threatens a secret operation known as Project Ferryman, and his only choice is to flee or to face his handlers. The author’s prose is lean and compelling, and the pace is frantic, but reader Orlow has no trouble maintaining the style and speed, even when switching quickly from British accents (a deep-voiced Cochrane and his sardonic MI6 superior) to American (Agent Hallows; an assortment of U.S. spies and cops; a blustering, ruthless U.S. senator; and two snarling top dogs at the CIA, one of whom is a secret Russian wolfhound). A Morrow paperback.
