They thought it was an open-and-shut case — they were wrong.
When former MI6 agent Selwin Birks is found dead in his Costa Blanca villa, local police quickly rule it a suicide. Days later, MI5 agent Chris Kane is discovered dead on his boat. Two deaths, two agencies, zero suspicion of a connection.
But maverick government agent Sam Taylor knows better.
Dispatched to Spain to unearth the truth, Sam steps into a shifting maze of lies, conspiracies, and dangerous alliances. Joined by Birks’ estranged daughter, Tilly, he follows a trail of secrets leading deep into the Spanish underworld — and toward a shadowy figure known only as “the Chief.”
As bodies fall and the real horror of the operation emerges, Sam finds himself at the centre of a deadly showdown with everything to lose. Under the blazing Mediterranean sun, betrayal is everywhere, trust is scarce, and every decision could be his last.
Everyone dies eventually — but for some, death comes much quicker…
About the Author
Ben Baldwin is a proud Yorkshireman now living in Buckinghamshire with his wife, Kimberley, and their two daughters, Ella and Megan. When he’s not writing or working as a management consultant, you’ll find him exploring the countryside on his bike or playing (and occasionally destroying) local golf courses.
What began as a hobby quickly spiralled into a passion, and the Sam Taylor series marks his dynamic entry into the thriller world. Many of his ideas are born during family adventures in their beloved motorhome, Henry.
