Publisher Description
Inspired by the author’s own experience, The Vicar introduces Terry Nolan, an MI5 operative who, when he discovers his cover is blown and millions of lives are at stake, will do whatever it takes to stop enemy forces.
Terry Nolan, an off-the-books MI5 operative known as the Vicar, has been officially dead for the past thirty years. But when Nolan is attacked in Boston, it becomes clear his cover is blown. Even worse, his Parishioners—the network of spies who work under the Vicar—have all been compromised.
Nolan races to New York to try and find his last remaining agent, Shae, whom he personally recruited years ago. Instead, he finds Kristen, a young civilian who is determined to save Shae, too—and who may know more than she’s letting on.
In the search for his missing agent, Nolan intercepts intelligence that indicates weapons of mass destruction are on their way to Britain’s four largest cities. Working directly with the ruthless head of MI5, Nolan must call upon all his clandestine skills to save the final Parishioner and find out who is behind the attacks and why. But he’s playing a dangerous game, and the dark secrets of his past are about to catch up with him.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A pre-dawn home invasion gets a jaded former British spy up and moving in this thriller. Terry Nolan, a retired MI5 operative, is living on a houseboat in Boston when two armed hit men track him down, driving home the message that his days of living undercover are over. We loved following along as the attack sends the likeable, vodka-drinking Nolan on a thrilling mission to discover who ordered the hit and whether any of the agents who worked under him are in danger—and to stop a massive terrorist attack targeting multiple UK cities. Author A. J. Chambers expertly uses short and snappy chapters to flash back to Nolan’s days as a newbie agent and show us how he became a hardened veteran who’ll stop at nothing to foil his enemies. This transatlantic spy novel is a ticking time bomb of suspense.
