The London Cage: (Connor Montrose Series)

By Mark Leggatt

A man who doesn't exist discovers a weapon that doesn't exist. The CIA had hoped it would be buried for centuries, but the retreat of the glaciers has revealed a Cold War secret that could bring down the communications and defence systems of every country on the planet. Connor Montrose must find a way to take control of the destructive power and stop the global race towards Armegeddon. Every major country in the world is desperate for the secret. Including his own. He is faced with the choice of betrayal or survival, but either way, he'll lose.Cold War enemies from Washington and Moscow pursue him across London, and only one young hacker, Kirsty, will stand by his side. Then an old man tells him, "If I had the choice between betraying my friends and betraying my country, I should hope I have the guts to betray my country." His country needs him, but if he gives up the secret, his friends and those he loves will die. And the killing will never stop.

Mark Leggatt was born in Lochee, Dundee and lives in Edinburgh. A former specialist in Disaster Recovery for oil companies and global banks, his career has taken him around Europe, especially Paris, where he lived for a number of years. History and modern global conspiracy lie at the heart of his work, and are the backdrop for the adventures of CIA technician Connor Montrose. Leggatt is a member of the Crime Writers Association in the UK, and the International Thriller Writers in the USA. Reviews “As usual, Leggatt hits the ground running and doesn’t stop for breath until after the final page. The writing is sharp, the approach no nonsense and the author is far too well informed on international skulduggery for comfort.” Douglas Skelton, author of The Dead Don’t Boogie, Open Wounds, The Janus Run and others “More focused than a sniper’s sight, The Silk Road is an all-too prescient masterclass in precision plotting, breathless action and taut, tense writing. Don’t miss it.” Neil Broadfoot, author of Falling Fast, The Storm & All the Devils
