Shadow Play: Part Two: A Box Set

The Truth About the Liar

When hunter becomes hunted, the lines between enemy and friend are easily blurred.

A hit man with a price on his head, Arthur's days are numbered. He should be in MI6 custody, paying penance for shooting one of their agents and killing three others. He should be at the mercy of his South American employers, who paid him handsomely to liquidate a former associate only to be rewarded with failure.

He certainly shouldn't be alive, in the care of a nefarious figure that even the SIS is wary of crossing.

En route to meet his unlikely benefactor in Egypt, Arthur is placed into the care of mysterious, subtly menacing Klaus. A man with a near-perfect reputation for delivering scalps, Klaus is not likely to facilitate Arthur's escape. But Arthur knows how to handle tall, dark, unnervingly handsome threats. It shouldn't take much to win Klaus overeven if it means that Arthur must plan his next move on his knees.

Counterfeit Conscience

On the brink of retirement, a spy will risk all.

The writing's on the wall. Will Rowe has no illusions about retaining his post as the head of the largest Section field office in South America. Private contractors, some more lawful than others, already see to most of their interests. It's only a matter of time before Will himself is made redundant. He'd like to think he's made peace with the inevitable, but when a figure from his past offers one last chance to make a difference, Will can't resist.

Caught between his duty to the agency and his commitment to protect his operatives, Will must persuade the man who nearly wrecked his career to give up the one and only constant in his worldrevenge.

Ignacio was a low-grade runner for the infamous Macias cartel the last time he and Will spoke. Now he is the head of the family and a direct beneficiary of MI6 cost-cutting measures. Will knows that approaching such a man without his superiors' knowledge or approval is a perilous undertaking, but he doesn't expect his body and heart to become forfeit. As events spiral out of his control, Will finds himself at the mercy of an old lover intent on awakening desires he long thought suppressed.

Tipping Point

He has nothing left to lose. That makes him dangerous.

Ex-con Elijah has run out of ways to make ends meet. Picked up by police in a bum-fighting sting, his only hope is the sister who landed him in prison many years ago. But catapulted into a world of veiled state interests and deadly secrets, Elijah soon finds himself torn between a past he cannot outrun and a spy whose dilemma he understands better than he'd like.

Nate, an Englishman whose comings and goings are as suspicious as his gratuitous kindness, offers Elijah the second chance he didn't realize he was praying for. It's not long before living out of each other's pockets brings clandestine desires to the surface, threatening the fragile peace Elijah finds in Nate's home. A peace that may have been nothing more than a smokescreen to begin with.
