The Untouchable
In London Albert William Packer, known as Mister, is master of all he surveys. He rules the manor with an iron fist - transgression is punished savagely, and moonlighting is rooted out and dealt with without hesitation. For twenty years, Packer has had it all his own way - the police and intelligence services have targeted him but have yet to get close to any sort of effective prosecution. After the collapse of the most recent National Crime Squad case against him through the intervention of his lawyer, Henry Arbuthnot, known as the Eagle, Packer sets out to broaden his horizons. His core business is heroin, bought from the Turks in Green Lanes and distributed around the capital. But he wants to cut out the middle man and in order to do so must travel to Sarajevo to parlay with the middle man where he hopes to negotiate safe transit through the black market crossroads that is the former Yugosalvia. But there is one survivor of the latest Home Office debacle, an archivist called Joey Cann who is determined to bring Packer to justice and follows him and his entourage to Sarajevo to glean what he can from the visit and to undermine whatever operation Packer is in the process of setting up. In the wartorn and dismal surroundings of that city, law and order is administered by the gangster warlords whose brutal regime will not tolerate anyone who won't be bought or toe the line. It is the modern day Wild West - guns and drugs are the primary currencies. As Packer attempts to establish his bridgehead against unimpressed opposition, Joey chips away at what is known about the man, uncovering him day by day until he has sufficient momentum to confront him directly...
Rat Run
Malachy Kitchen is an intelligence officer in Iraq. accused of cowardice, he becomes a recluse in a drug-infested housing project back home. But the mugging of an elderly widow draws him into the fight —his target is the network of substance dealers, and at their head is Ricky Capel. untouchable up to now, Capel will have to confront an enemy more driven than any he has so far outwitted. Malachy Kitchen loses his job with British intelligence and is reduced to living on the street, abandoned by family and friends, after an apparent act of cowardice during the current Iraq war. Rescued by a stranger who judges him worthy of another chance, Kitchen moves to a drug-wrecked, gang-infested London housing project. After failing to prevent the mugging of an elderly neighbor, Kitchen employs his professional expertise against the local gangs. Meanwhile, a local drug lord is directed by his Hamburg supplier to do something that will carry him into far more shadowy realms than the drug trade. Unfortunately, since Kitchen comes across as such a pitiful figure for most of the book, readers will find it hard to like or identify with him until they gain a full understanding of his situation.
The Unknown Soldier
Hidden in the world’s greatest desert a tiny caravan of fugitives inches towards its goal. One man stands out for his strength, self-imposed discipline and leadership. He is an Outsider whose past is blanked from his memory. And his loyalty to the leadership is total. American and British experts in counter-terrorism must find him before he disappears again and re-emerges in a western city to wreak mass murder . . .
Harry's Game
A British cabinet minister is gunned down by an IRA assassin, leaving an undercover agent to track down the killer before he himself is killed. Harry's Game, the novel that defined the career of master espionage writer Gerald Seymour, is a deadly hide-and-seek between two killers. One is a super-assassin who has already murdered a high-up government official. The other is secret agent Harry Brown, who must uncover and destroy him. As Brown goes to Belfast and immerses himself into the community there, attempting to flush out the assassin, the two men circle each other in their lethal game, ensnaring the reader in a world of violence as the book plunges into a nightmare world of creeping terror. With the taut pacing, gritty realism, and brilliantly fleshed-out characters that have led Seymour to be known as one of the master of the modern thriller, Harry's Game is widely regarded as one of the greatest thrillers of the past fifty years, and with this new edition, Overlook makes it available again to Seymour's fans both old and new.
The Glory Boys
A tale of a three-man assassination squad whose target is Israel's leading nuclear scientist while he is on a visit to London. When Abdel-El-Famy, a Palestinian zealot and would-be terrorist, is sent with two others to assassinate a leading Israeli nuclear scientist giving a lecture in London, he knows that there is little prospect of a safe return. Yet he feels no fear. Famy is prepared to sacrifice himself for his cause, for if he succeeds he knows that the reverberations will be felt throughout the Western World. But when his hit squad is intercepted by Israeli Intelligence in France and his accomplices are shot, Famy remains determined that this setback will only be temporary in spite of his lack of experience. Upon arrival in Britain, his only contact is Ciaran McCoy, a hardened IRA mercenary. McCoy can provide him with firearms and local knowledge, but the difference in their aims and motivations means that their alliance will always be uneasy. Meanwhile, British Intelligence has assigned a hard-drinking maverick to protect the scientist. Will this be enough to prevent the inevitable bloodshed?
Kingfisher
Three Jewish Ukrainian students, branded as Soviet dissidents and hijackers, land in England to seek asylum. After one of their friends disappears, three young Soviet Jews hijack an airliner and demand passage to Israel. In the style that has won him comparisons to Graham Greene and John le Carré, acclaimed thriller writer Gerald Seymour zeroes in on the moral ambiguities of the activists' deeds. As several nations agonize over the conflict between political freedom and the safety of innocent bystanders, Seymour forces us to wonder whether the hijackers are victims, terrorists, or both. As in all his novels, Seymour focuses on the everyman foot soldier torn between the enemy before him and the high-ranking diplomats at his back. Charlie Webster is a world-weary counter-terrorism expert who has been called away from his soft desk job to negotiate with the hijackers. Gripping, explosive, yet still fully human, Kingfisher demonstrates the concept that elevates all of Seymour's stories: victory in multinational political conflicts is quite often Pyrrhic at the personal level.
Red Fox
When Italy's most ruthless terrorist is captured, her lover uses a British businessman, who has been kidnapped in Rome, as a bargaining tool to free her and unleashes forces which threaten to escape everyone's control. Italy's most ruthless terrorist, the beautiful, seductive and extremely dangerous Franca Tantardini, is finally captured in a shoot-out. At the same time a British businessman, Geoffrey Harrison, is kidnapped in Rome. The British Government are adamant that they will not pay his two-million-dollar ransom and discharge responsibility to the Italian police. As political wrangling takes hold, Tantardini?s fanatical young lover realizes that the only way to secure the release of his beloved Franca is to capture Harrison and bargain his life for hers. The authorities are confronted with a terrible choice. Should they release a woman who has masterminded the murder of so many, or let an innocent man die?
Archangel
Michael Holly, mechanical engineer, is in Moscow to clinch a deal for his firm, and to run a small errand for the British Intelligence Service. But he is arrested. The Soviet secret police will exchange him for a key Soviet agent being held in London. Unfortunately the agent dies prematurely, and Holly gets fifteen years in a desolate labour camp. Alone in a world totally alien to him, Holly refuses to give in, knowing that to do so would be death. He fights back and through the hideous weeks of a Russian winter the camp's inmates take their courage from his resistance and join him in fighting the system. Michael Holly, the quiet Englishman, will never be the same again. Nor will Camp 3.
At Close Quarter
The Beqa'a Valley in east Lebanon is home for many of the most revolutionary groups of the Palestinian guerrilla war against Israel, a dangerous, closed valley to which unauthorised access is virtually impossible, where capture by the Syrian Army results in torture and death. Holt, a diplomat, and Noah Crane, Israeli master-sniper, mentor and guide, plan to walk by night into the noose of the valley's fortifications to find one man. Holt alone can identify him, the subject of an act of vengeance by the British, who mean to display their strength in the face of terrorism. To Israeli Intelligence it is a mission of suicidal folly. Holt and Crane are far into to the Beqa'a, out of reach, unrecoverable, when their cover is blown and Syrian Intelligence alerted to their approach.
Condition Black
It is the last months before Iraq is to invade Kuwait, and Saddam Hussein has instructed his scientists to stop at nothing to arm his nation with nuclear warheads. As Frederick Blisset, a disaffected British weapons scientist, is on the point of seizing the Iraqi bait, the only man to stand in the way of a total collapse of the Middle Eastern military balance is a young FBI operative, Bill Erlich - a man who has just seen a close friend gunned down by a terrorist, though, and is hard on the heels of his assassin. As he blunders into the lines by which the Iraqi puppet-masters control their undercover agents in England, he is faced with a last and inevitable confrontation and recognises that he has gone beyond the point of recall: he is engaged in what his FBI training has taught him to call "Condition Black", lethal assault in progress.
The Contract
Discharged from the British Army in disgrace, Johnny Donoghue is eager to earn his redemption. His assignment is to slip into East Germany and arrange the defection of a top-flight scientist working on the Soviet missile systems. The British need him but cannot risk involving the Secret Intelligence Service. No one warned Johnny, however, of the traps in store. No one reminded him how fickle politicians can be. No one really knew the horrific dangers of the East-West border. And no one told him that the scientist's daughter was coming along too.
The Dealer and the Dead
Eighteen years after the barbarous war with the Serbs that tore their communities apart, a group of Croatian villagers discover the identity of the Englishman who they believe betrayed them by welching on a deal to supply arms. With revenge in sight at last, they hire a professional killer from London to track him down . . . but is the story as simple as they think? A brilliant, bruising thriller, told in a unique way, about what happens when the hand of the past suddenly reaches out to the present - and is holding a gun.
Traitor's Kiss
Officially the Cold War is over. Between former enemies, the hand of friendship is exchanged in public. In private though, the intelligence war goes on... An English trawler strays into Russian waters. When it returns, the captain has a package to deliver to British intelligence. For the next four years a high-ranked Russian naval officer, Viktor Archenko, passes valuable information to MI6. Suddenly the flow of information stops. His contacts in London know nothing about him but they know that he s under suspicion. The time has come to get him out. But a new breed plays the spy game now: men like Gabriel Locke. They have no interest in irrelevant Cold War sparring or the risk of a scandal. Only one veteran agent realizes that there is much more at stake than one man s life. With this latest tale of intrigue from perhaps today s preeminent writer of espionage fiction, readers are faced with a novelistic world that is as duplicitous, subtle, and as terrifyingly immediate as the headlines the world could wake up to tomorrow morning.
Timebomb
Hard on the heels of last year's brilliant thriller, The Collaborator, comes this excellent multilayered thriller. In 1992, after being fired from a top-secret nuclear facility, a top KGB man buried a nuclear suitcase. Sixteen years later he has found a buyer for it. Traveling with the buyer is an undercover policeman, working for MI6. But as their shadowy journey begins, it becomes clear to a top psychiatrist that their man may be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and the whole operation is very likely to be thrown into jeopardy. Displaying a fast- paced narrative and an in-depth knowledge of international politics, Timebomb is thrilling Seymour to keep a reader up late into the night.
