The Mirror Protocol

One video. Forty million views. And he never pulled the trigger.

On a rain-soaked rooftop in Istanbul, British agent Rhys Calder holds a dying whistleblower in his arms. Her last words are a warning about a machine called MIRROR.

By morning, the whole world has watched him kill her.

The footage is flawless. Every forensic expert swears it's real. His own service disowns him, Interpol issues a warrant, and his face is on every screen in Europe. There is only one problem. It never happened.

Hunted from the glittering lakeside villas of Geneva to the candlelit fado houses of Lisbon, Rhys has one lead: Sebastián Roa, the brilliant, haunted architect of the AI that framed him. Sebastián knows how to switch it off. He also has every reason to betray him. And the longer they run together, the harder it becomes to tell which danger is greater: the men hunting them, or what is growing between them.

Somewhere in the Baltic, a billionaire with one blue eye and one brown is counting down to a war no one will see coming, because everyone will see it happen. In seventy-two hours, the world will believe a lie so perfect that no one can prove it false.

To stop it, Rhys must survive killer drones, an Arctic mountain vault, a traitor at the very top of British intelligence, and a night-time parachute jump into a raging storm.

When anyone can wear your face, who do you trust?

THE MIRROR PROTOCOL is a fast, glamorous spy thriller of artificial intelligence, conspiracy and forbidden love, for readers who like their espionage stylish, their villains brilliant and their heroes willing to risk everything for the truth, and for each other.

Fans of Ian Fleming, Mick Herron and Daniel Silva will be gripped from the first page.
