Slingshot, Matthew Dunn

Third in the thrilling ‘Spycatcher’ series.

1995: A top secret meeting among top US and Russian commanders, the subject, Project Slingshot, an accord so unthinkable that to protect it a deadly assassin is tasked with silencing anyone who threatens to expose its secret.

Present Day: Will Cochrane’s MI6 operation to aid a defector has just gone sideways in Poland. Cochrane, codename Spartan, thinks the document the Russian stole just before his defection is the reason he was kidnapped. Will is pulling at the threads leading to Slingshot, via Tel Aviv, the Scottish Highlands and the European court of Human Rights in the Hague. He becomes a threat to a shadowy East German powerbroker who deals ruthlessly with his enemies and their loved ones. Russia has tasked their own spycatcher to retrieve the document by any means necessary and elements in the CIA would rather betray Cochrane than help him.

In order to prevent a high level political assassination Will’s going to have to risk everything, his job, his loved ones and his life.
