Her husband was gunned down, and her ex-husband was the only witness. Or was he the murderer?
Famous novelist Ingrid Langley has made a fresh start following her divorce from Patrick Gillard, an SAS-trained killer in Her Majesty’s secret service.
Leaving a turbulent life behind, Ingrid was happy with her second husband, policeman Peter Clyde.
But when Peter is murdered in suspicious circumstances her world is shattered and terrifying feelings resurface.
Instinctively she knows that something is amiss and seeks out the truth, however painful it may be.
But her murdered husband was only a policeman and not an agent so why is the secret service so interested in his death?
When Patrick visits her in the midst of her grief she is furious and confused but cannot bring herself to turn him away.
She sees him for the expert murderer he is but also as a lover and a protector.
Drafts of her new book Moonlake become more cathartic to her than ever before yet her agent Alan and her mother are concerned for her as she gets dragged slowly into a web of spies and secret agencies.
In public, Ingrid and Patrick are the perfect couple, a foil for the real work they are doing.
But will their relationship become more than an act with Peter gone and Ingrid steeped in grief?
Knowing every room she enters could be bugged and sensing she is being watched, Ingrid is not safe.
Is she at risk from Peter’s killers? Does Patrick know more than he is willing to let on?
The IRA, the Russians and British agencies are now a feature of her daily working life and she believes Patrick needs her to help him.
Their trail takes them from training ground to torture to battleground — from London to the moors of Scotland — as they strive to smoke out the high-ranking Russian “mole” responsible for the bobby’s death.
Unfortunately, he’s a ruthless double agent determined to annihilate them first …
‘A Murder of Crows’ is a thrilling action filled tale of death, sex, love and espionage.
