Danger Close: A Thriller Boxset
'Fast, brutal and uncompromising. Waugh gets you in his sniper-scope and doesn't relent until the very last page.'
John Kennedy, author of The Trauma Pool.
Danger Close is a specially curated boxset of titles by acclaimed thriller writer Thomas Waugh.
GUN FOR A Michael Devlin Crime Thriller.
Former paratrooper turned assassin Michael Devlin is good at his job. Almost too good.
The widower misses his wife. But he never misses his shot.
Devlin, along with his friend and fixer Oliver Porter, must combat London gangsters, Islamic terrorists and the CIA to finally find peace.
But, before finding peace, the soldier must prepare for war.
ENOUGH IS A James Marshal Crime Thriller.
Two Albanians, sitting in a car, are selling cocaine outside a school again.
James Marshal, a former soldier, assaults the Albanians. But it's just the start, rather than the end, of things.
The ruthless gang, led by Luka Rugova and Viktor Baruti, demand retribution.
To gain intelligence on the criminal organisation Marshal approaches the fixer, Oliver Porter.
In return for providing Marshal with information, Porter asks a favour of his former associate.
Marshal must drive the fixer's niece around for a couple of days.
But a lot can happen in a couple of days.
DUTY A Daniel Ambler Spy Thriller.
London. 2021.
Spy novelist, Daniel Ambler, is invited to lunch by an old college acquaintance, Simon Birch - who now works for MI6.
Yevgeny Vetrov, a Russian oligarch, has made an offer to British intelligence. Vetrov claims to possess files containing compromising information relating to Viktor Rybin, one of the Russian President's closest advisers.
But Vetrov, who now lives in Cuba, has stipulated that he will only pass on the intelligence in person to Ambler, a trusted friend.
But there is every possibility that Ambler may not make his flight. The writer is being stalked across the capital - and the only thing standing in between the hunters and their quarry is James Marshal, the author's driver - a former soldier.
Nothing is quite what it seems, as Ambler is written into a plot worthy of one of his spy novels.
The new recruit's first mission could prove his last.
Recommended for fans of Stephen Leather, Alan Judd and Charles Cumming.
