A dream early review for my forthcoming book #stalinsApostles.
"Elegantly written and stocked with charismatic, spectacularly flawed characters, it's a captivating, psychologically probing spy saga."
@Tonisenior's forthcoming STALIN'S APOSTLES receives a great review in Publishers Weekly! Read more: bit.ly/3OyThPn

Ooh, tough one. But I'll go for Journey Into Fear by Eric Ambler. It set the template for a classic type of spy story - hapless innocent in over his head who must find the inner resources to save himself. Great characters and settings too.
We ask our writers and you
What is your favourite spy novel?
