1989, London. Julia Dylan is running a successful security consultancy. When an eccentric academic disappears on his quest to find Spanish gold, Julia is hired to find him. Her husband Thomas, is stuck in MI6 writing reports no one will ever read. When he's suddenly sent to Turkey to find a consignment of hijacked Russian missiles, suspicions grow. Thomas and Julia find their paths leading to Madeira, it can't be a coincidence. Someone is pulling their strings, but why? Does the answer lie with a distinguished family of local wine merchants? Perhaps with a former MI6 officer working for the Americans in Panama? Or even with a retired Russian spy residing peacefully on the island? The peace cannot last. The Cold War might be ending, but its consequences are explosive.

About the Author
Brian Landers' history of the American and Russian empires, Empires Apart, was described by the Midwest Book Review as a remarkable, scholarly, and educational read. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin now perfectly illustrate the author's thesis that visions of imperial grandeur have been recurrent themes in US and Russian history. Landers has now turned to fiction. The author helped a former Director General of Defence Intelligence and a motley collection of ex-spooks set up a political research unit in the City of London. The Dylan series of thrillers illustrates how the the world of espionage has changed since then. Educated at Exeter University and London Business School Brian Landers has lived in South and North America and various parts of Europe and has worked across the world from Lebanon to El Salvador. He was awarded an OBE in the 2018 Queen's Birthday Honours List.
