Book excerpt: 'A terrific future-shock thriller' LEE CHILD The person he's ordered to kill, is the one woman he wants to protect. Michael North, assassin and spy-for-hire, is very good at killing bad guys. But what happens when his shadowy bosses at the dark heart of the British government order him to kill a good woman instead? Rising political star, Honor Jones, MP, is asking dangerous questions about the men running her country. Questions that have put a target on her back. North's intuition tells him she's innocent. In a widespread game of power and betrayal, North will need to find his allies – fast. But with a bullet lodged in his brain, can he even trust himself? Perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Lee Child and Mark Dawson, Killing State is the explosive start to an action-packed thriller series from a Sunday Times bestselling author. 'A gritty, action-packed page-turner' ANDY MCNAB 'New thriller writers come and go. I suspect this lady will stick around' FREDERICK FORSYTH 'Thought-provoking, pacy and thrilling' SUNDAY MIRROR 'Fast-paced and packed with action... A series hero to watch' MICK HERRON 'Gripping and twisty' INDIA KNIGHT 'Grabs you from page one and won't let you go...

Fast, sharply written, clever and intense' JEREMY VINE, BBC2 'A high-octane plot that centres around the dark heart of British political power. A great debut' SUNDAY TIMES
