Daniel Ambler #3
Endgame
"A gripping and well-crafted spy thriller, laced with wit and humour... Highly enjoyable." Mark Ellis, author of The Embassy Murders
London, 2023.
Bestselling spy novelist, Daniel Ambler, is asked by MI6 to re-connect with Natasha Guseva, an old flame.
Natasha is the former fiancé of Valentin Orlov, a Russian oligarch. Orlov, recently killed in a helicopter crash, had links to both the FSB and criminal underworld.
Ambler must discover if Natasha is still in possession of Orlov's assets. Assets which the British security services would like to appropriate, before the Kremlin can.
The author succeeds in inserting himself into Natasha's life and affections. But Ambler proves too successful - and arouses the suspicions of the woman's lawyer, Burian Kozlov, and her new financial adviser, the American Nathan Eastman.
How much does Natasha know about her late fiancé's business affairs? Why is Ambler's driver, the ex-paratrooper James Marshal, attacked? A couple of Russian operatives begin to surveil the novelist - but under whose orders are they acting?
There are more questions than answers.
The game must be played out, but Ambler is about to find out that the odds are stacked against him.
Recommended for fans of Mick Herron, Alan Judd and Graham Greene.

'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
"Thomas Waugh’s gripping second James Marshal thriller reads as though Andy McNab has sent Nick Stone into the meanest streets of London on a mission of brutal revenge." Peter Tonkin, author of The Trojan Murders
"Tense and atmospheric." Humphrey Hawksley
‘A gripping spy thriller, which will keep the reader guessing till the very last scene. Waugh is able to blend together both suspense and satire like few other authors.’ Saul David, Ukraine
