My next book, Dead Drop, is non-fiction, an investigation into one of the most remarkable espionage operations of the Cold War: the running of Colonel Oleg Penkovsky by MI6 and the CIA in the early Sixties, including during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Simon & Schuster will publish it in the UK in June, and here's the fantastic cover for it! I'll add more information about it to this site and a revamped website in the coming weeks.
