Deep Cover

A midnight flight. An empty runway. A plane that never took off again.
Jack Daniel is 28, MI6's sharpest young asset, and bored of safe assignments. So when his boss slides a dossier across the desk a fertiliser billionaire, a private island in the Maldives, a Cessna that vanished mid-take-off, Jack is already reaching for his passport. The cover is simple: food taster. Get close. Find out what Austin Blake is really cooking up in that locked laboratory at the edge of his island. But nothing on the island is what it seems. The chef watches him too closely. The lab workers move like machines. A grinning stranger keeps turning up in airports he shouldn't know about. And the map Jack is handed is missing an entire floor. Then there's the truth buried in Blake's file, the one Jack's boss saved for last. Ten years ago, a spy walked into one of Blake's factories and never walked out.

That spy was Jack's father.

Now Jack is alone on a fortress island with armed guards, laser tripwires, and a billionaire who pays his debts in nitro-glycerine. Every meal could be his last. Every smile could be a trap. And somewhere in the shadows, an organisation called VENOM is watching, waiting, pulling the strings.

Jack came to finish his father's mission. He has no idea the mission is only the beginning.

Perfect for fans of Alex Rider, young Bond, and spy thrillers that don't slow down.

How far would you go to finish what your father started, if the people who killed him were already inside your house?
