Don’t miss Book 5 from criminal barrister and crime author Tony Kent: THE SHADOW NETWORK


How do you take down an enemy when no one believes they exist? When the lawyers of alleged war criminal Hannibal Strauss are caught up in a terror attack in The Hague, barrister Michael Devlin immediately suspects all is not what it seems. Teaming up once more with Agent Joe Dempsey, they must find who’s behind it all before any more innocent lives are lost.

With their key witness on the run and assassins on their tail, their only lead is a codename: the Monk, a legendary and mysterious foreign agent with a fearsome reputation. But what is his stake in this dangerous game? And just who is part of his shadowy network of spies? Caught in a complicated web of lies, secrets and double agents, there’s no one Dempsey and Devlin can trust but themselves.

Advance Praise

‘At the heart of this crackling political thriller, packed with deception and espionage, lies a shadowy organisation determined to overthrow the world order. … Tense and fast paced, it has a fierce edge that questions whether the world as we know it can survive. Kent has become the British Baldacci, and there can be no higher praise.’ Daily Mail

'The latest Dempsey and Devlin offering starts with a literal bang, before continuing apace like the proverbial runaway train, switchbacking between Europe and America, conspiracy and murder, shadowy villains and deftly drawn heroes. A rollicking good thriller.' VASEEM KHAN, AUTHOR OF DEATH OF A LESSER GOD
