Publisher Description
A nest of espionage. A break for the border. A race to survive.
The Allies are desperate to stop neutral Turkey supplying vital materials to the Nazis – materials which could help them win the war. But then a British agent makes a fatal mistake, and disappears in Istanbul.
In England, detective turned spy Richard Prince – back from a clandestine mission in Nazi-occupied Europe – is hunting for his lost son. Before long he is drawn into a dangerous follow-up operation, posing as a journalist in Turkey.
The mission soon goes wrong. Out of touch with London and stranded hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, Prince will have to find evidence of the Turks secret trade with the Nazis, as well as a way out.
Chances of survival? Low. Chance of completing his mission? Prince will do whatever it takes.
An astounding WWII espionage thriller from a modern master of the genre, Sea of Spies is a triumph, perfect for fans of Alan Furst, John le Carré and Robert Harris.
Customer Reviews
Sea of Spies
Despite his desire to locate his son, Richard Prince reluctantly agrees to enter the spy game once more. This time, he doesn’t have the promise of protection and contacts. In fact, his back story encourages him to disavow his English heritage. His quest for proof of providing aid to the Reich led him into danger once more. Will he survive without readily available assistance? Or will the Gestapo get intel from him?
Another interesting look into the harrowing life of a spy. Of course, keeping track of all the names and pseudonyms is also great exercise for the brain. Off to see what happens next…
Sea of Spies
Good thriller, particularly when getting into details of the protagonist’s journey following the metal delivery to Germany from Turkey. Unfortunately, just as with the 1st novel in the series, the ending comes all too quickly I without much fanfare, like a novel anticipating another book in the series. I will purchase the 3rd in the series (& probably the 4th, as well), though I’d much rather read them for free. 😜
Sea of Spies
I read this continuously until finished…….could not put it down! Great follow up to the first book. Ordering the next when I finish this review. Do not pass this one up!
