Duncan Grant

Every assassin has a first time… On the backstreets of Lyon, France, an MI6 surveillance team are gunned down in a cold-blooded ambush. Thrust into the hunt for the assassin is the sole survivor – rookie covert operative Duncan Grant. His feats in training are already the stuff of legend. His tough, solitary existence on Scotland's Isle of Skye forging a man willing to kill to protect the innocent and save lives. But no training can prepare Grant for the devastating consequences his first kill will unleash. As he follows a bloody trail of clues around the globe, he discovers that his own agency is selling him out. Now Grant is about to find himself in the middle of an international conspiracy involving a corrupt Interpol detective, a Saudi prince, and the highest levels of government. But they've underestimated the wrong man. And Grant's about to prove to them that the second kill is far easier than the first.

Synchronised assassinations around the world have brought the global intelligence community to its knees. And it's just the beginning... Caught in the crossfire is MI6 covert operative Duncan Grant, who knows more about the mastermind behind the attack than anyone else. Grant must destroy an international network of disavowed operatives and assassins, led by a charismatic and ruthless arms dealer who has a plan to bring chaos and destruction to millions. Now it's not just the intelligence agencies that are at stake – it's entire nations. With the clock ticking down, Grant joins forces with a mysterious deep-cover operative – unaware that he may be walking into a deadly trap. From the acclaimed author of Kill Day and the Novak and Mitchell political thriller series, Dead Flags is the second in a series of action-packed thrillers for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci, and Mark Dawson.

They were MI6's most lethal assassins. Killers who lived in the shadows. Until now... MI6 operative Duncan Grant has been officially missing in action for the last six months. Going on deep-cover to hunt down those responsible for the death of a close ally. Half a world away, enjoying sedate retirement under new identities, former Albion agents are being murdered. And now there's only one left. Given an ultimatum to save the last Albion or face expulsion from the agency he's sacrificed so much for, Grant has no choice but to pursue both missions at the same time. Unbeknownst to him, Grant's relentless pursuit of revenge is about to reveal devastating secrets within the British establishment. And they are determined to see Duncan Grant dead.
