Publisher Description

This electrifying debut from Jeremy Duns launches a trilogy of Cold War spy thrillers. It's 1969, and a KGB colonel has just entered the British High Commission in Nigeria and asked to defect. For MI6 agent Paul Dark, it's a promising opportunity. But Dark soon finds himself in trouble and on the run. "A wholly engrossing and sophisticated spy novel set against a forgotten corner of 20th-century history."-William Boyd, Booker and Whitbread Prize winner

Quotes

  • “An international espionage thriller par excellence. Lyrical prose, unforgettable characters, and a fascinating plot that doesn’t release the panting reader until the last page.”

    - Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Option

  • “An authentic espionage novel with accurate tradecraft and operatives who act with intelligence. Set in the Cold War, packed with history and tension, it’s a must- read for any true spy-novel fan. If you like vintage John le Carré, you'll love Free Agent.”

    - David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Scavenger

  • “Duns’ terrific debut will draw inevitable comparisons to early John le Carré, though the lead character, turncoat British Secret Service agent Paul Dark, is a complete original…Seldom has a thriller plot taken more unseen turns as Paul searches for the truth about his past and the reality of his present. Readers will eagerly await the sequel.”

    - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

  • “Superior fiction with an unexpected twist.”

    - Library Journal

  • “Journalist Duns debuts with a thriller offering more spins than a Bolshoi gala, as an MI6 agent combs Nigeria for a lost love who can untangle a labyrinthine scheme devised during World War II.”

    - Kirkus Reviews

    " I can't remember the last time reading a book increased my heart rate...perhaps reading "Jaws" in the 70's. I had to keep telling myself...it' s only a novel. Thrilling and a fantastic read! "

    " It's mindblowing to me that this is Jeremy Duns' first book. Within 5 pages I felt like I was decades into a spy family dynasty. The emotional investment was instantaneous and the pace of the book kept me turing page after page. "
