'Simply put, Merle Nygate is one of the best spy novelists writing today.' I.S. Berry 'Sophisticated and pulse-pounding writing' Express In the aftermath of Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel, Mossad's London station chief Eli Amiram is fighting battles on all fronts. When his ambitious rival plans an assassination on British soil - supposedly authorized by Trump supporters - Eli suspects a deeper conspiracy. Meanwhile, British intelligence asset Petra is hunting for redemption. Tasked with recruiting Wasim Al-Arikhi - whose sister she failed to save from becoming a suicide bomber - Petra's drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Can Wasim be trusted or has she become a target? As Eli and Petra's paths converge, they discover that in the shadow world of international espionage, the greatest threats often come from within.

Reviews
'Absolutely gripping' Alex Gerlis, on Honour Among Spies 'Nygate is not afraid to get her hands bloody' James Owen, The Times 'With tense action and full-bodied characters - and with remarkable thought and depth - Nygate captures the most pressing and exciting issues of our time, all wrapped up in an unputdownable story. The Protocols of Spying is no exception, proudly carrying the banner of Nygate's exceptional series.' I.S. Berry 'Merle Nygate cements her place as one of the very best spy writers today. This outing for Mossad London Station chief Eli Amiram is a politically astute thriller, which captures the sense of horror and dislocation felt by his countrymen after the attack. The characters are vividly drawn, and the prose sparkles. This series continues to impress.' Antonia Senior, Spy Masters
