Synopsis

“A beautifully-paced espionage thriller in the best Le Carré tradition.” – Christopher Sandford

When a professor linked to Iran’s nuclear programme is found dead on a Cambridge park bench, British secret agent Sebastian Friend is sent to investigate what seems at first to be a simple state-sanctioned assassination by poisoning.

But then panic grips the British and US intelligence services when all of their Iranian assets are wiped out in one fell swoop.

Friend’s mission takes him from London to Tehran and back, as he finds himself turned from hunter to hunted.

With unknown enemies around every corner, can Friend unmask those behind the tangled web of murders?

When state turns against state, will the world ever be the same again?

A brilliantly compelling spy thriller which will keep you guessing, and have you on the edge of your seat. Get it now, and discover what is on The Other Side of Trust.

“I thoroughly enjoyed it. For a first novel it is extraordinarily impressive. Both the plot lines and the detailing are most convincing.” – James Fleming, author of the Doig trilogy, and nephew of Ian Fleming

“'The Other Side of Trust is a beautifully-paced espionage thriller, in the best John Le Carre tradition, which both exalts and subverts the myths of spycraft. The research and plotting are impeccable, the dialogue both brisk and tense. Neil Robinson has written a brilliantly executed and compelling novel.” Christopher Sandford, author and biographer

À propos de l'auteur

Neil Robinson was born in Gateshead and grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne obsessed with books and sport. After studying in Hull and Sweden, he spent six years with the Home Office in London before quitting and setting off to walk across Europe in the footsteps of Patrick Leigh Fermor and in the spirit of vagabond poets.He returned to the UK with very sore feet and the understanding that he needed a new career. After retraining as a librarian, he took a job at Lord's Cricket Ground where he has remained for the last 15 years. As MCC's Head of Heritage & Collections, his job involves, among other things, looking after the Ashes Urn.He has written widely about cricket and sporting heritage for a variety of publications and in 2015 published Long Shot Summer, a book about one of the most humiliating years in English cricket history. His fiction writing covers very different ground. A lifelong lover of spy novels, he takes inspiration from thriller writers like Len Deighton and John Buchan and seeks to create novels with a sense of place and character.Neil lives in south east London, where he spends his free time writing, cooking, hiking, enjoying the odd pint of real ale and following his beloved Gateshead Football Club.
