'Kim Sherwood takes one of the world's most beloved series and makes it her own' -- CHRIS WHITAKER
James Bond returns and the Double O agents make their last stand in this gripping and explosive spy thriller from bookseller favourite, Kim Sherwood. We can't wait to see you there!
The return of 007
Agent 003, Joanna Harwood, has finally found James Bond after years of searching. All she has to do is get him out of Russia alive and convince him to trust her again.
A mission for revenge
But Bond trusts no one. And he wants revenge on Mora, the monstrous figure at the head of Rattenfanger - a terrorist organisation with links to the past.
The final showdown
MI6's Double O section is in pieces. Moneypenny is captured. Agents have switched sides. And Rattenfanger's plans for hijacking the cyber-intelligence of the West are finally about to be realised.
Bond and the remaining Double Os must work together to save the world - and figure out which of them are still loyal...
Kim Sherwood is a novelist and a Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Edinburgh. Her award-winning debut novel Testament was released in 2018, and in 2019, Kim was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. Her latest novel, A Wild and True Relation (2023), was described by Dame Hilary Mantel as 'a rarity - a novel as remarkable for the vigour of the storytelling as for its literary ambition. Kim Sherwood is a writer of capacity, potency, and sophistication'.
A diehard fan of Ian Fleming's writing and 007's cinematic adventures since childhood, it was always Kim's lifelong dream to write James Bond. This is the third in an acclaimed series of Double O novels expanding the world of James Bond.
