The globe-trotting spy thriller that inspired the upcoming action blockbuster Argylle , featuring a star-studded cast including Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Samuel L. Jackson, and John Cena.
One Russian magnate's dream of restoring a nation to greatness has set in motion a chain of events which will take the world to the brink of chaos. Only Frances Coffey, the CIA's most legendary spymaster, can prevent it. But to do so, she needs someone special.
Enter Argylle. His life came to a crashing halt as a teenager. Since then he has been treading water, building barriers between himself and the world. Until one moment of compassion and brilliance will bring him to the attention of the most powerful woman in the secret world.
Coffey knows all about Argylle's dark past. She knows it haunts him. But she also knows it may give him the skills to join the team going up against one of the most powerful men in the world. His crash course in espionage will take him from the jungles of Thailand to the boulevards of Monaco, from the monasteries of Mount Athos to a forgotten cavern buried deep in the mountains.
It is a deathly rollercoaster ride that will either make him - or break him...
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This gripping espionage thriller catapults readers into an exhilarating worldwide adventure that transports us from the glitzy streets of Monte Carlo to frostbitten Siberia via Thailand’s most exotic jungles. At the heart of Elly Conway’s impressive debut is Aubrey Argylle, an unlikely yet charismatic spy recruited by the CIA after displaying exceptional bravery in the throes of a catastrophic event. When Argylle is assigned a secret mission to find The Amber Room, the missing eighth wonder of the world, he must interfere with Vasily Federov— Conway’s eerily repellent villain, who promises to return The Amber Room to Russia in a fierce election campaign. Teeming with fast-paced action, intriguing characters, and shocking plot twists, Argylle marks Elly Conway’s emergence as an exciting new voice that will delight spy thriller aficionados.
