Their representative contacted me and asked if I would pass on this news. Since things are quiet in all my groups lately, I agreed.

John Gardner, 'Troubled Midnight'
Troubled Midnight
1943. Preparations for the greatest invasion in history, the assault on Hitler’s Fortress-Europe, are underway in the United Kingdom.
With fresh bloodshed on the horizon, the coming holidays seem even more poignant. But with just ten days to go the seasonal mood is shattered in the quiet market town of Wantage, Berkshire. Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Livermore and DS Suzie Mountford, Tommy’s right-hand woman and secret lover, are called to investigate the discovery of two tortured and beaten bodies.
When the bodies are identified as Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Weaving, a commanding officer stationed at a nearby airfield and Emily Bascombe, wife of the town’s hero, Tommy and Suzie are joined by Curry Shepherd, a representative of the Intelligence Services.
It's possible that a Nazi agent has interrogated Colonel Weaving whilst he was in possession of invasion plan secrets.
Surprising, dark and imaginative--a tense and tough suspense thriller from one of Britain’s best genre authors--‘Troubled Midnight’ makes for compelling reading.
John Gardner is the author of 14 of the James Bond franchise novels.

Nicholas Luard, 'The Robespierre Serial' (1975)
The Robespierre Serial
Carswell is a British Intelligence agent with a tarnished reputation, kept out of the way in Madrid for the past twelve years.
Suddenly he’s thrown into action, tasked with shadowing a hired killer in what Carswell is told is a crucial assassination plot — only, undisclosed to him, the target is being protected by the CIA and the British only want him located, not killed. After a bizarre and gruesome series of events in which he is cut off completely from contact with London, Carswell believes it is his sole duty to carry out the hit. Sought by the Spanish police, hunted by the combined fury of the CIA and British Intelligence, and hampered by the presence of a young French prostitute, he will stop at nothing to carry out his assignment. But every step he takes is sealing his own fate and compromising his country...
The 'Robespierre Serial' is a taut and authentic espionage thriller.
