Publisher's Summary

From the best-selling author of The Psalm Killer and The Butchers of Berlin.

A breathtaking contemporary thriller for listeners of Robert Harris, John le Carré​ and Martin Cruz Smith

When a government minister is shot there are many suspects but few leads. Days before the attempted assassination, Charlotte Waites, a Home Office analyst, dismissed a crucial intel flag and now has to account for her actions. Dragged into a web of intrigue that will draw in everybody from the prime minister to her ailing father, she must try to get the bottom of the mystery while confronting dark secrets from her family's past. 

Complex, gripping and deftly handled, Ghost Country is work of staggering imagination that, from Northern Ireland to COVID, looks at the complexities of Britain's recent history and distils them into an unforgettable literary thriller.

Zarathrustra Cometh

Chris Petit channels Kaftka in story, in form and his importance as a political commentator. His nazi trilogy that defined national socialism as a confluence of dysfunctional men an women burdened by the excesses of their own inanity informed my understanding of humanity and its flaws and restored a belief that we cannot harm without regret. This contemporary fast paced spy thriller demonstrates his technical strength as a narrator, his precision as a political and psychological commentator and portends the place of soothsayer he could assume to warm us of our banal future. I tremor with anticipation. Valle Le Carre.
