Armistice Day

We trained him. We armed him. We sent him off to war. Now he's coming for us. During the two minute silence on Armistice Day, a sniper hidden in a building opposite the Cenotaph guns down the prime minister, the leader of the opposition and two ministers. He escapes, disguised as a police officer. In charge of the manhunt is Bridie Connor, laconic head of counter-intelligence at the Secret Intelligence Service. Reporting to her is Septimus Brass, National Crime Agency investigator. Their adversary turns out to be neither terrorist nor foreign agent but a vengeful British ex-special forces soldier. Septimus has just one question: why? A compelling novel of love, betrayal and revenge.
