Brilliantly executed...these are first-class spy novels with a smart, gritty atmosphere. - CHARLES CUMMING, New York Times & Sunday Times Best-selling Author of KENNEDY 35 and BOX 88
A chilling, inspired espionage thriller. EDITOR'S PICK Publisher's Weekly
Tom Bishop: You don't just trade these people like they're baseball cards! It's not a game!
Nathan Muir: That's exactly what it is and it's no kid's game either. This is a whole other game. And it's serious. And it's dangerous. And it's not one you want to lose.
It's 48 hours before the events of the movie classic Spy Game and Nathan Muir is about to see his world implode...
Who'd want to assassinate Charlie March? The original Cold War hero. Mentor, brother, confessor-in-chief to Nathan Muir, he's the spy who waltzed in from the cold and wrote a bestseller in the Florida sunshine.
But when a bomb on his yacht puts Charlie March on ice, and his dying words implicate Muir, the CIA dispatch hard-luck Agency lawyer Russell Aiken to force Muir's confession and bury forty years of dirty secrets. By legal means...or otherwise.
A thinking man's thriller... A real adrenaline blast... I loved it! ROBERT REDFORD, Spy Game

Relentlessly tense... This smashing espionage tale kicks off what promises to be a smart, indelible series. Kirkus Reviews
The protégé Muir cast aside in favor of Tom Bishop, Aiken thirsts for payback unaware that Muir launched a different kind of game for him and Bishop long ago, and Aiken has 24 hours to learn its rules, plays, and lethal stakes.
Epic in scope, Muir's Gambit sweeps from the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir to Cyprus terror bombings, Congo coup d'états, Angolan proxy wars, and into the final hours of the Berlin Wall. And for two men untethered from morality, all those lies leave one final night for redemption.
It's policy versus heart... Will challenge you in ways you haven't been challenged before. TONY SCOTT Spy Game
