About The Hit List (Emily Stearn Thriller Series)
“An entertaining follow-up from Malley… A pacy spy thriller involving assassins. Russian and British agents and a race against time. Readers are in for a treat.” Richard Foreman. A Russian assassin is operating on the streets of London. Emily Stearn - smart, headstrong, blessed with a photographic memory and niece of a former spy - has recently joined British Intelligence. She is a trainee. Watching, listening, analysing. Nothing too dangerous. Until she witnesses a colleague gunned down amid a routine surveillance mission. Emily is convinced the masked killer is a woman. But the department concludes the killing bears the hallmarks of Andrei Reblov, codename Tinman. Reblov is suspected of working through a hit list of defence chiefs in revenge for European nations supplying Ukraine with weapons following Russia’s invasion. Yet something doesn’t add up. Questions need to be answered. Emily tracks Reblov across Europe, linking him to deaths in Rome, Berlin and Brussels. Now she’s sure he is heading for Paris, where the British prime minister is meeting European leaders in Versailles’ historic Hall of Mirrors. As a special ops squad is assembled, led by veteran terror hunter Jack Easton, a vital clue to the London shooting drags Emily out of the office and into the field where not everything is what it seems. Easton’s attempt to foil Reblov’s most daring assassination leads to a encounter aboard the last train to Paris. With the fate of Europe’s leaders at stake, neither man is prepared to back down. Frank Malley is a journalist and novelist who worked as a columnist for the Daily Express in London. He began writing books in 2014 and his memoir, Living on the Deadline, was acclaimed by the Library Journal of America as 'fun and exciting to read'. He is also the author of The 13th Assassin. Praise for Frank Malley: ‘Both a murder mystery and spy thriller, Malley has created a page turner that will engage fans of both genres.’ Thomas Waugh.
