“A happy partner to the work of Deighton, Archer, and le Carré… carried on craftily understated prose that approaches cold poetry… a first-class novel.”(Booklist, starred review)Racing between London and Moscow, Kazakhstan and the Caymans, The Silent Oligarch reveals a sinister unexplored world where the wealthy buy the justice they want—and the silence they need. The first novel by Chris Morgan Jones—after his eleven years of work at the world’s largest business intelligence agency—The Silent Oligarch introduces Benjamin Webster, mercenary spy to the rich and powerful. Hired to destroy a Russian oil baron, Webster discovers that his target’s weak spot is a diffident English lawyer who hides the money generated from his master’s vast criminal empire. Soon Webster’s questions cause the lawyer’s fragile world to crumble, forcing them both into a desperate race around the world to escape the oligarch’s vengeance.

Whirling silently through space, satellite cameras pick up a suspicious new Soviet missile complex which at all costs must be properly identified. The mission is carefully planned and carefully rehearsed. The latest and the fastest MiG, which a defecting Soviet pilot has conveniently landed in the West, is to fly at a treetop level until well into Soviet airspace and on course for the target. And the return journey? Well, that's up to Quiller.Quiller fans will also enjoy THE KOBRA MANIFESTO, THE NINTH DIRECTIVE and THE QUILLER MEMORANDRUM.…

The KGB was planning to wreck the U.S. economy by forcing the biggest banks to dump all their stocks at the same time. A plant in one of Boston’s old families — and the manipulation of their vast financial power — would trigger total economic collapse!

Killmaster had to discover the identity of the phony “Boston Brahmin” and make his sudden death look like an accident — before the collapse began. But there was a welcoming committee of thousands of killers waiting for him...

“WE WANT TO HEAR THE MUSIC BEFORE HIS THROAT IS SLIT.”

Those were Nick Carter’s orders. Translated, they meant that Nick had to find Rico Corelli before the Syndicate killers did.

Corelli had been controlling the international drug chain from Corsica for years. But when the Mob found that their profits were slipping and Corelli’s were mounting, the heat was on and Corelli was on the run.

If Killmaster got to him first, Corelli could be made to talk and the drug chain would drop in AXE’s lap. If the Mafia did, there’d be one more bloody name on the Mob’s death list.

Armed only with a beautiful female narc and a flimsy cover, AXE’s chief agent begins the hunt. But the Mafia’s enforcers are with him all the way. And the first corpse is a ringer for the man Nick Carter is supposed to impersonate...

In a tense, bloody race against time, Killmaster stalks a man he’s never seen, a ruthless unphotographed killer running for his life from the men who know him best!

The story of a perilous assignment for the agent who wants to desperately end his career of espionage — to come in from the cold.

"The fly fell down." Quiller sent the message off to London as requested. He had just seen a supersonic jet plunge 60,000 feet to its destruction. It was the 36th crash, and more were to come-unless Quiller finds out who is to blame.That meant entering the deadly shadow world between East and West, where the name of the game was betrayal and the stakes were sky-high."If you are a Quiller fan this is for you. If you have never met him, it's time you did." (Charleston Evening Post)

AROUND THE WORLD...ON A TRAIL OF MURDERSaigonIt was the last days of the war, and in the middle of the bloodshed Killmaster has to find a man named Walter Corbin — and a roll of microfilm. He found his man just in time to see his head shatter into a million pieces...Hong KongThe trail led from sampan city, where silence was safety, to a series of brutal, vicious murders.

"The deadline was close and I knew now what London had sent me out here to do: define, infiltrate and destroy. And I couldn't do it just by standing in the way of the program Moscow was running. I'd have to get inside and blow it up from there."Across the black snowscape of Poland's capital, a city where winter is more than a season, falls the shadow of a British Intelligence operation designed to save detente from explosion-an operation that pivots on an agent callously thrown into the front line of the Cold War and caught in the crossfire."Entertainment of the first rank." (The Guardian, London)

Under any other circumstances it would have been cause for celebration when Nick Carter’s three friends showed up in the States—• the cross-eyed Egyptian criminologist Hakim Sadek, who had so often used his devious talents and hideous appearance to such devastating effect.• the jolly peasant woman Valentina Sichikova, the Russian agent who was built like a tank but had a heart as big and warm as the sun• and the beautiful Julia Baron with whom Nick Carter is as much in love as his dangerous profession permits…— but their reunion is not to celebrate mutual admiration, friendship or love — it is a “nightmare party’, an assignment so perilous that the foundations of the free world will crumble into radioactive dust if they do not succeed. Already the whole of the United States has been gripped with panic under the terrifying rumours of drugs added to drinking water, poisons in the air — an invasion from outer space!
