Night Heron

Adam Brookes

Tell them the Night Heron is hunting . . .

A lone man escapes a labour camp in the dead of night fleeing across the winter desert of north-west China.

Two decades earlier he was a spy for the British. Now he finds Beijing transformed and crawling with danger - the fugitive must quickly disappear on its surveillance-blanketed streets or face death.

Desperate and ruthless he reaches out to his one-time MI6 paymasters via journalist Philip Mangan offering secrets in return for his life.

Mangan is dragged into a deeper and deeper whirlpool of lies as the secrets prove more valuable than either of them could ever have known... and not only to the British.
