Tom Wilde Book 8: A COLD WIND FROM MOSCOWFebruary 1947. Britain's secret services have been penetrated. The country is more vulnerable than ever - and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin knows it. He decides it is time to send his master of 'Special Tasks' to create extra chaos. But Stalin has a more important motive than mere disruption. He has a man on the inside who must be protected at all costs - a communist super-spy who has the secrets of the atomic bomb at his fingertips. Freya Bentall, a senior MI5 officer, no longer knows who to trust and is left with one option: to bring in an outsider whose loyalty is beyond question - Cambridge professor Tom Wilde. His task: to find the traitor in MI5. But as winter bites and violence erupts, Wilde faces an uphill battle to protect those he loves from merciless killers. One slip will spell disaster for the country - and his family. Sebastian Wolff Book 1: MUNICH WOLF1935: When a high-born English girl is found murdered, Munich police detective Sebastian Wolff is ordered to solve the crime. The problem is, he is already walking a tight line between doing his job and falling foul of the political party he despises. He has even been consigned to the Dachau concentration camp for a night for failing to salute Hitler. But he is good at his job and he speaks English so he is the obvious choice to find the killer. There are international implications because Germany is involved in delicate negotiations with the British government on a new naval treaty - and the Führer is taking a personal interest in the case. Followed by the secret police and even threatened with denunciation by his own son - a zealous member of the Hitler Youth - Wolff’s task seems impossible. And when he begins to suspect that the killer might be linked to the highest reaches of the Nazi hierarchy, he realises he might become the next victim. Tom Wilde Book 7: THE ENGLISH FÜHRERAutumn 1945. The war is over - a new enemy rises. Off the east coast of England a Japanese submarine surfaces, unloads its sinister cargo, then blows itself to pieces. Former spy Professor Tom Wilde is enjoying peacetime in Cambridge, settling back into teaching and family life. Until a call from senior MI5 chief Lord Templeman brings him out of retirement. A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out. There are rumours that the Nazi war machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research facility. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil - and why? What’s more, Wilde and Templeman’s names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations, an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot? Tom Wilde Book 1: CORPUS1936. Europe is in turmoil. The Nazis have marched into the Rhineland, Stalin has unleashed his Great Terror on the Soviet Union, and Spain has erupted in civil war. In Berlin, a young Englishwoman evades the Gestapo to deliver vital papers to a Jewish scientist. Within weeks, she is found dead in her Cambridge bedroom, a silver syringe clutched in her fingers. In a London club, three senior members of the establishment light the touchpaper on a conspiracy that will threaten the lives of royalty and government ministers. When a renowned member of the county set and his wife are found horribly murdered, a maverick Cambridge history professor finds himself drawn into a world of espionage which, until now, he has only read about in books. But the deeper Tom Wilde delves, the more he wonders whether the murders are linked to the death of the girl with the silver syringe - and, just as worryingly, with the scandal surrounding King Edward VIII and his mistress Wallis Simpson. Professor Wilde’s specialist subject is the Elizabethan secret service. With the spires of academia drenched in blood, he must use all the skills he has learnt in his dusty tomes to save the woman he loves and prevent a massacre. John Shakespeare Book 7: HOLY SPY1586. In London’s smoky taverns a conspiracy is brewing, and John Shakespeare must infiltrate the plotters. However, equally pressing is the murder charge against the woman he loves. As he battles unseen forces he begins to realise that his investigations are inextricably linked - by corruption at the very seat of power.1586.
