"Great talent, great imagination, and real been-there done-that authenticity make this one of the year's best thriller debuts."
—Lee Child

"Not since Fleming charged Bond with the safety of the world has the international secret agent mystique been so anchored with an insider's reality."
—Noah Boyd, New York Times bestselling author of Agent X and The Bricklayer

"A real spy proves he is a real writer—and a truly deft and inventive one. Spycatcher is a stunning debut."
—Ted Bell, New York Times bestselling author of Warlord

A real life former field officer, Matthew Dunn makes an extraordinary debut with Spycatcher, a masterwork of international espionage fiction that crackles with electrifying authenticity. Fans of Daniel Silva, Robert Ludlum, Brad Thor, and Vince Flynn will be on the edge of their seats as intelligence agent Will Cochrane—working on a joint covert mission for the CIA and MI6—sets out to capture a brilliant and ruthless Iranian spy. Timely and gripping, Spycatcher rockets the reader into a shadowy world of terrorism and counter-terrorism, and holds them in an iron grip until the last pulse-pounding page is turned.

      The neat thing about Rich Orlow is that when he's delivering narrative, he uses his natural American accent, but when he plays Will Cochrane, he has a pure British accent. Then he deftly switches to an Iranian accent when needed. Former MI6 agent Dunn supplies more action than a James Bond novel, and listeners may find many similarities to Bond in Cochrane. He's even got a code name, "Spartan," akin to 007. There's also a character here like "M," who continually scolds Cochrane for his overzealous actions. A few over-the-top scenes have him shot, beaten, and stabbed a few days apart and miraculously recovering from each. Orlow speedily moves through the action with a strong and clear reading. A.L.H.

      British author Dunn draws on his real-life experience as an MI6 agent for his strong spy thriller debut. MI6 agent Will Cochrane, code name Spartan, winds up shot after a New York City mission involving an Iranian intelligence source goes bad. After a brief stay in a secret hospital, he takes on a new taskâlocating the mastermind of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who's planning a massive terrorist attack. Will tracks down freelance journalist Lana Beseisu, who's now living in Paris and rumored to be the terrorist leader's one-time lover. Will and Lana form an alliance and an instant attraction, though Will knows he has to keep his hands off this beauty until the mission's successful completion. When Will learns that the Iranian terrorist was responsible for the death of his own father, revenge helps fire his search. While some predictable plot twists suggest Dunn is still learning his fictional craft, readers will want to see more of his distinctive hero, "the ultimate killer of killers."
