About Cold Star

'There is a cool darkness about The Agent...' - Matt McAvoy An audacious plan, a dangerous attraction, a deadly agent ...a fatal flaw. The Agent is an anonymous British intelligence agent working for a department so secret the government won't admit to its existence. In 1960s Casablanca, a devastating fire at the port leads the Agent to Morocco where he uncovers an audacious plot of epic proportions. The Agent must unravel the conspiracy and put a stop to it. The Russian embassy is implicated - and the Agent's just fallen for one of its diplomats, a beautiful young woman who may hold the key to unearthing the secret in the Sahara... but only if he can overcome his desire for her. And all the while a fatal flaw in the Agent's assignment goes unnoticed until its explosive revelation in the closing chapters. The Agent takes you on a thrilling and immersive ride through the heady exoticism of early sixties Casablanca in a compelling cold war era thriller, weaving in science and buckling the classic espionage premise with a twisted finale. Readers of Fleming and le Carré will particularly enjoy this intriguing story, full of narrow escapes and wonderful characters. Brimming with style, detail and atmosphere, Cold Star confidently evokes the period with great historical authenticity. The cold war just got hotter.
