  • ABOUT THE BOOK

  • When credible leaks point to a Russian espionage operation in the UK, secret intelligence officer and former astronaut, John Stirling, is drawn into the investigation. At a global cybersecurity event, he encounters Rex Hampton, head of a powerful armaments firm, and Astrid Lazarenko, a Kyiv University tutor with heart-wrenching reasons of her own for staying close to Stirling.

    As the operation's five strands gradually come to light, a trail of death and destruction leads to a vast technology park in rural Northumberland. There, in the most harrowing ordeal of his life, Stirling's professional and personal worlds collide.

    SCREAM OF A ROSE is a fast-paced action thriller that twists and turns towards a high-stakes finale.
