The Chase

Published by: Penguin Random House UK

A fantastic, simple premise that is told with skill, pace and characters you care about. The stakes are relatable, and the action is told with clarity, drawing the reader fully into the titular chase alongside young agent, Emma Makepeace. Exactly what we look for from a spy thriller.
