Overview

The United States and Russia are on the brink of war and only Will Cochrane—the master spy introduced in the critically acclaimed Spycatcher—can find and unmask the diabolical double agent responsible in this enthralling espionage thriller, written by a real-life former field officer.

Fourteen days ago, CIA headquarters in Virginia received a cryptic message from an agent operating deep undercover. Unable to make contact, they were forced to turn to their deadliest operative—Will Cochrane. His mission is simple: infiltrate the remote submarine base in Russia, locate the MI6 agent operating under the code name Svelte, and decode his message—or die trying.

But now Svelte is dead. And it's up to Cochrane to uncover the meaning of his final message . . . and discover the identity of the man known only as "Sentinel."

Editorial Reviews

Booklist
“An in Spycatcher, Dunn’s action scenes are vividly drawn. Lovers of derring-do will love this series.”
Oakland Tribune
“Dunn delivers insights into a world most of us will never experience—except between the covers of a book, or maybe someday in a movie as good as the best of the Bond and Bourne sagas.”
Washington Post
“Terse conversations infused with subtle power plays, brutal encounters among allies with competing agendas, and forays into hostile territory orchestrated for clockwork efficiency but vulnerable to deadly missteps. . . . A stylish and assured debut.”
Associated Press Staff
“[Dunn] has created a plot with plenty of action and lots of twists and turns . . . nonstop action and relentless danger.”
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“Spycatcher makes a strong argument that it takes a real spy to write a truly authentic espionage novel . . . [The story] practically bursts at the seams with boots-on-the-ground insight and realism . . . Dunn is a gifted storyteller.”
The Telegraph (UK)
“Like le Carré and Fleming before him, [Dunn] is the real thing, a former member of SIS turned fictional chronicler of the secret world. . . . Meet Will Cochrane, a one-man weapon of mass destruction; 007 is a cocktail-sipping lush compared with Cochrane.”
Lee Child
"Great talent, great imagination, and real been-there, done-that authenticity. . . Highly recommended."
Jeffery Deaver
"Matthew Dunn is [a] very talented new author. I know of no other spy thriller that so successfully blends the fascinating nuances of the business of espionage and intelligence work with full-throttle suspense storytelling."
Ted Bell
"A real spy proves he is a real writer—and a truly deft and inventive one. This is a stunning debut."
Library Journal
Back after the pointed and scalding Spycatcher, agent Will Cochrane is on his way to Russia, sent on an impossible mission by the CIA to find an undercover agent who has sent a cryptic message: "He has betrayed us and wants to go to war." The agent is bleeding to death when Cochrane finds him, but he manages to spit out one last word: "Sentinel." And the hunt is on. This former M16 agent gets a 150,000-copy first printing for his second novel; ante up.

Meet the Author

As an MI6 field officer, Matthew Dunn recruited and ran agents, coordinated and participated in special operations, and acted in deep-cover roles throughout the world. He operated in environments where, if captured, he would have been executed. Dunn was trained in all aspects of intelligence collection, covert deployment, small arms, explosives, military unarmed combat, surveillance, and infiltration.

Medals are never awarded to modern MI6 officers, but Dunn was the recipient of a rare personal commendation from the secretary of state for work he did on one mission, which was deemed so significant that it directly influenced the success of a major international incident.

During his time in MI6, Dunn conducted approximately seventy missions. All of them were successful. He lives in England, where he is at work on the fourth Spycatcher novel.
