Publisher's Summary
The follow-up to Jack of Spies, Soho's lead spring '14 title. Jack McColl,
a Scottish car salesman who moonlights as a spy for His Majesty's Navy,
takes listeners on an epic adventure across the world on the eve of
World War One.
India, 1915. Jack McColl is on a reconnaissance mission to better defend
the British Empire against Bengali terrorists and their German allies.
In England, meanwhile, Jack's former lover, Caitlin Hanley, witnesses
the execution of her brother for a treasonous plot that Jack helped
foil. His execution has only intensified Caitlin's involvement in the
cause of Home Rule. An uprising in Dublin will bring Caitlin and Jack
back together as lovers - and enemies.
Follows the paperback release of Jack of Spies as well as a specially
commissioned and designed paperback reissue of all six of the Station
series books. Primed by David Downing's upcoming first-ever US tour,
getting him into more stores and augmenting his fan base. David Downing
is not only one of Soho Crime's cult best sellers, with sales of his
Station series mushrooming every year, but also a critical darling.
Set in a provocative moment in history and depicts the Irish Republican
movement, the American suffrage movement, Indian uprisings against the
British Raj, the rise of German antagonism, and other fascinating historical
handles.
What the Critics Say
"[Downing] is a master at bringing the past to life through the careful
and often loving observation of even minor players and through the artful
deployment of specific detail." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Moves along briskly and offers interesting facts about events now a
century past.... Always entertaining." (The Washington Post)
"I can already see Gerard Butler in the lead role of the film version."
