Death in a Half Foreign Country Book Reviews

Death in a Half Foreign Country by James Ward Book Summary

"Readers will find John Mordred to be one of the most appealing characters in fiction today." – Publisher's Daily.

"John Mordred comes alive on the page and is a character readers will not soon forget." – The Booklife Review.

When John Mordred leaves MI7, marries the woman he loves, and settles down to a relatively humdrum lifestyle, it ought to be a brave new start. But he and his wife have formerly been top-level spies, and they find the readjustment harder than they anticipated.

When - courtesy of a friend, and apparently out of the blue - they're offered an all-expenses-paid holiday in Malta, it seems the answer to both their prayers. Sunshine, relaxation, and romance. Just what the doctor ordered.

But Malta is no ordinary tourist-trap. Hidden cameras, none-too-subtle intimations of blackmail, and the murder of a professional acquaintance send them reeling back to Britain; back to what they dearly hope will be a snug nine-to-five normality.

But there's a limit to how often they can walk away. Especially when any number of foreign intelligence agencies now have hostile eyes on them. They were once two of Britain's best assets. They're currently untethered from central control. They're fair game.

And actually, come to think if it, this is an excellent time to put an assassin on their tail. Get rid of them both, once and for all.

"James Ward brings protagonist John Mordred alive on the page … The author displays exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling." – Emerald Book Review.
