Hooded Crow

Hooded Crow Synopsis

The battlefield is new, the enemies unfamiliar, but for British agent Patrick Hyde, the stakes are as high as ever... Patrick Hyde has uncovered a conspiracy: high-tech equipment is being smuggled out of the UK with help from the KGB, and the evidence points to electronics conglomerate, Reid Group. But with Reid's former chairman now working in Cabinet, Hyde's accusations fall on deaf ears.

Meanwhile, deep in the Namibian Bush, British ex-pat Richard Anderson stumbles upon a crashed Dakota plane. Inside, he finds a dead KGB man and stolen British electronics. He takes some as proof, sensing foul play, to send back to British Intelligence.

Both Hyde and Anderson, one agent and one unofficial agent-in-place, each working on opposite sides of the globe, soon find themselves targets of the same conspiracy. The mission that connects them is big - far bigger than either of them bargained for - and their pursuers will stop at nothing to ensure it fails... A game of death under a scorching sun, Craig Thomas' A Hooded Crow is perfect for fans of Charles Cumming and Jack Higgins.
