Vicar

Inspired by the author's own experiences, this spy thriller follows Terry Nolan, a covert MI5 agent who works outside official channels under the codename The Vicar. For thirty years, his record has shown him as dead. That arrangement falls apart when Nolan is attacked in Boston, a sign that his identity has been exposed. Worse, the Parishioners, the network of agents he commands, have also been compromised. He travels to New York to find Shae, the one agent still unaccounted for, whom he brought into the network years earlier. Instead he meets Kristen, a young civilian determined to rescue Shae as well, and she may be holding back information. While searching for his missing agent, Nolan intercepts intelligence pointing to weapons of mass destruction headed for Britain's four largest cities. He ends up working alongside the hard-edged head of MI5, relying on every covert skill he has to protect the last Parishioner and uncover who is behind the attacks and why. The game he is playing is perilous, and secrets from his past are closing in on him.
