Spy Killer

WRONGLY ACCUSED OF MURDER. HUNTED BY THE POLICE. DRAWN INTO A DEADLY GAME OF ESPIONAGE.

American sailor Kurt Reid has always relied on his fists to solve problems. But when his ship’s captain is murdered and the payroll disappears, Reid becomes the prime suspect.

With the police closing in, he escapes to the dangerous streets of Shanghai, hoping to disappear. Instead, he finds himself trapped in a world where spies, smugglers, secret agents and double-crosses lurk behind every friendly face. Nothing is what it seems—and trusting the wrong person could prove fatal.

Then Reid meets the mysterious Varinka Savischna. Beautiful, intelligent and impossible to read, the enigmatic White Russian appears determined to recruit him into her dangerous mission. But is she his greatest ally—or the most dangerous player in a deadly game where loyalty is bought, betrayal comes easily and survival depends on knowing whom not to trust?

Every alliance hides another secret.

Every mission carries another betrayal.

And somewhere in the shadows of Shanghai, one final deception will determine who lives—and who dies.

Filled with international intrigue, escalating suspense, exotic Shanghai atmosphere and relentless action, Spy Killer is a classic spy adventure that delivers unforgettable twists from beginning to end.
