Some people go looking for the secret world. David Carver was invited.
A programme manager and an Army reservist, Carver has spent twenty years quietly keeping the lights on for a country that has never once wondered how. Ordinary. Careful. Deniable. He is exactly the kind of person British intelligence uses and forgets - so when he's asked to lend his expertise to a quiet corner of the Service, it looks like nothing at all. A favour. A weekend. The sort of thing a sensible man says yes to.
But Carver has seen the shape of this before, a long way east, and it cost one man his life and Carver his peace. He knows how the machine works now. He knows that the most dangerous betrayals are the ones that arrive wearing the face of trust.
INSERTION is a British spy thriller for readers who like their spies quiet, their institutions compromised, and their conspiracies close enough to be true. In the tradition of John le Carré and Mick Herron, it is the first novel in a new series - and the making of a man the state will keep using, right up to the day it decides to bury him.
Not every betrayal looks like one.
