I also came across Event Driven by Andrew Cartmel free today on Kindle. It's a slick James Bond style thriller - I enjoyed his last book so this is well worth a try, particularly for free!
Meet Rupert Hood. Every day he joins the wage slaves commuting to Putney, in south-west London, to one more apparently dull job in a high street estate agents.
But the company is a front -- for the UK's intelligence service.
And Rupert Hood isn’t an estate agent. He’s a secret agent.
In the second of Andrew Cartmel's brilliant re-imaginings of the classic 1960s spy caper, Rupert Hood is thrown back into action -- and facing the deadliest challenge of his career.
Someone has been scavenging waste plutonium and using it to create a bomb.
A deadly terror attack is planned on the City of London -- one that could ruin the global financial system.
But who? And why?
Hunting down the terrorists means Rupert going undercover in one of the world's most sophisticated and wealthiest 'event-driven' hedge funds to learn more about the likely target.
But as Rupert gets to grips with the world of high finance, events are about to be driven out of control -- with catastrophic consequences.
And in a nerve-shredding chase he must confront the deadliest -- and strangest -- opponent of his life.
'Event Driven' is a brilliantly fast-paced, gripping action thriller in the style of the great masters of the genre - Ian Fleming, Len Deighton and Jack Higgins.
It is the first sequel to Andrew Cartmel's roller-coaster thriller Operation Herod, which has been widely praised.
"With a luckless spy and a formidable femme fatale, Operation Herod is a bright and fast-moving entertainment of double lives and double-dealing. The spirit of the 60s espionage thriller takes on new life and vigour in the hands of Andrew Cartmel." - Stephen Gallagher.
''Cartmel's writing is a Heckler & Koch automatic wrapped in expensive lingerie. Brutal, exciting, engaging and witty. In the words of a woman who knew her spies: 'Nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest." - Guy Adams, best-selling author of The Change.
