The
Spy House – A Spycatcher Novel – Matthew Dunn (William Morrow)
A special team of spies, gathered from four different
security/spy services from around the globe, are tasked with getting to the
answer; did Hamas kill the Israeli diplomat to France and push the Jewish state
onto a wartime footing. The team is conducting surveillance from a specially
constructed, basement vault that can only be opened from within. When
communications break down, the group who designed and built the vault cut their
way in and discover all four members of the team are now dead.
Did someone snap, did a gun battle break out and why
are fingers pointing in the direction of one of his former cohorts in the CIA;
those are the questions that Will Cochrane is tasked with finding answers to in
the new Matthew Dunn thriller, The Spy
House – A Spycatcher Novel.
Dunn, a former MI6 field officer in his own right,
brings a level of authenticity to latest installment in the ongoing Spycather
series that seems to be missing from other purveyors in in this realm of
fiction. While others tend to sound forced when it comes to the action a tools
of thrill, Dunn delivers a lean, spare approach reminiscent of the masters of
the field.
The locked room mystery is a classic storyline in the
world of magic, so it is fitting that Dunn uses a little bit of illusion to tie
the storyline together. The Will Cochrane character continues to evolve, at
once brutal to the point of ruthlessness and the next a seemingly
contradictory, carrying, normal guy which makes him a full-fledged human being.
