A LOYAL SPY

WINNER OF THE IAN FLEMING STEEL DAGGER AWARD 2010 FOR BEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR

The last time Jonah saw Nor ed-Din, he was lying face down in a pool of black water in the Khyber Pass. For many years, Jonah had been under the impression that he'd killed him there. 

 

How far can loyalty be stretched before it reaches a limit?

 

Millions of lives depend on the answer, as a twisting road of betrayal and revenge leads from the mountains of Afghanistan to the heart of London ...and a ticking bomb.

A Loyal Spy Reviews

"Accuracy seeps out of every page.”

- The Daily Mail

“A riveting alternative history of the last twenty years.”

- The Times

“Our reward for grasping the complexities is an enhanced sense of the authenticity of Conway’s personal experience and a conventionally stonking action climax.”

- Daily Telegraph

“Another well-earned award…It is sprawling, violent and contemporary, with whiffs of authenticity that lift it above the crowd." 

- The Spectator, Books of the year 2010

“Conway has concocted a credible, and wholly cynical, tale of dirt, death and double dealing of déraciné anti-heroes for whom perpetual conflict has become both lifeblood and poison.”

- The Times

“Stunning . . . With its complex characters and plot, this thriller feels as if the author has channelled his considerable powers through le Carré by way of Tolstoy, and yet it remains uniquely his own.”

- Publishers Weekly, starred review
