A Loyal Spy
Author(s): Simon Conway
The last time Jonah saw Nor ed-Din, he was lying face down in a pool of black water in the Khyber Pass. For many years, Jonah had been under the impression that he'd killed him there. Jonah: an undercover operative for one of Britain's most secret agencies. Nor: the agent he befriended, recruited, then left for dead. Miranda: the woman he thought he loved enough to give up everything for. How far can loyalty be stretched before it reaches a limit? Millions of lives depend on the answer, as a twisting road of betrayal and revenge leads from the mountains of Afghanistan to the heart of London . . . and a ticking bomb.

Winner of CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger 2010.
'A dizzying journey starring international terrorists, Uday Hussein, freelance salvage merchants and a container full of suffocated Kuwaiti businessmen. Simon Conway's writing is authoritative and authentic. RAGE is a thriller that manages to balance adrenalin with intelligence.' -- Scotland on Sunday on RAGE 20060514 'In a word: Great' -- The Herald Sun on RAGE 20060514 'Conway writes with brutal immediacy, his mordant irony resonating uncomfortably even as it entertains...Grim, kinetic thriller set against an unconventional and inspired backdrop' -- Kirkus Reviews on RAGE 20070115 'Debut of a roaring and prodigal talent ... Not so much a novel as a life experience. Don't miss it.' -- Literary Review on DAMAGED 20070115 'Imagine John le Carre on bad acid - edgy, twisted and very, very dark.' -- Howard Marks on DAMAGED 20070115 'Good background, with an on-the-nail summary of Northern Ireland wheeling and dealing...and a wild Celtic streak that marks Conway as one to watch.' -- The Guardian on DAMAGED 20070115 'Cruel, violent and lyrical, it's Iain Banks meeting Alan Warner in Tom Clancy's missile silo. Excellent.' -- Select on DAMAGED 20070115
