Shock Therapy
Available on the 28th November, 2023
SHOCK THERAPY is published by Troubador in November 2023. A contemporary spy thriller, it is rooted in reality. Henry Bradbury´s life is in free fall. His marriage has failed, he’s about to lose his City job, and he now finds himself dangerously out of his depth as an unlikely agent of the British intelligence services. His therapist, Dr Nea Solomon, is the only person he can trust, and the time has come to share his biggest secret. Henry’s confession of spying on Russians in London doesn’t get the reaction he expects, and a chain of events leads to murder…
The sequel, THE BEIJING BOOK CLUB, will take Henry and Nea on a mission to the East, an unlikely but effective team of most deniable British agents.
