The Meyer-Hoffman Affair: An old-fashioned classic spy thriller

by Ben Westerham

A classic tale of espionage on the eve of the first world war.



A murdered British civil servant. Stolen Government documents. A fleeing German agent. Events that presage a desperate new assignment for secret service agent Alexander Templeman.

Tasked with helping to keep an escaping German scientist out of the hands of ruthless enemy agents, Templeman will soon find himself isolated and fighting for his very life. If the uncertain and inexperienced agent fails in his mission it will see Great Britain left at a potentially fatal disadvantage in the coming war.

The second adventure in this classic old fashioned espionage series, strongly flavoured with period details, marvellous characters and a fast-paced plot.. If you like John Buchan and Erskine Childers then you’ll love this one.

This book has everything in it a reader could want in a spy thriller: suspense, intrigue and unexpected moments. Alexander Templeman, an agent of the British Secret Service, is assigned to protect Doctor Meyer-Hoffman, a German scientist, who has come to England to escape the reach of the German government, which is determined to use his research to further their aims for the upcoming war against England and its allies. Will Templeman be successful in his mission? Find out by reading this engaging book. I highly recommend it to other thriller readers. I received an ARC of this book, and the opinion expressed is strictly my own.
