They gave him the number 987 years before he ever became an agent. Now he wants to know why.
British intelligence operative Adrian Knox has spent nine years believing that 987 is nothing more than his operational designation. Then a message arrives using the credentials of a dead cryptographer, sending him to a midnight meeting at St Pancras and placing an impossible piece of evidence in his hands: a photograph taken years before he joined the intelligence service.
Written on the back are four words:
CANDIDATE 987 - PHASE ONE.
Knox's search for answers draws him into Project Janus, a secret behavioural programme that identified and monitored promising individuals long before their formal recruitment. But Janus is only one layer of something much older. Behind it lies Crown Glass, a system designed not simply to predict human behaviour, but to influence the circumstances in which people make their choices.
As intelligence officers turn against one another and hidden programmes reach into the highest levels of government, Knox discovers that his own life may have been observed since childhood-and that his late father knew far more about the system than he ever revealed.
From London and Antwerp to Brussels and a hidden archive beneath a Norwegian mountain, Agent 987 becomes a race to uncover who controls the programme before a covert behavioural experiment is unleashed on an entire nation.
But the deeper Knox travels into the conspiracy, the more dangerous the question becomes:
If someone controls the circumstances surrounding your choices, do they also control who you become?
AGENT 987 is a fast-paced espionage and intelligence thriller combining covert operations, political conspiracy, behavioural manipulation, secret government programmes, betrayal, and psychological suspense.
