The Cold War is in full swing. Richard Brodick decides to join the Secret Intelligence Service.

‘A first-rate tale, with all the authority of first-hand experience.' - Luke Jennings, author of the 'Killing Eve' series

February 1981. The Cold War is in full swing. Richard Brodick decides to follow in his father’s footsteps, joining Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service.

As a contract ‘head agent’ based in Pakistan, Brodick’s job is to train Afghans to capture video of the war against the Soviets. However, he finds himself in a murky world of blurred lines and conflicting stories, where he cannot trust anything he has been told, by anyone.

What he had thought would be an adventure spying on the Soviets and their Afghan communist allies turns sour when he's ordered to kill his best friend. Will he betray his country or his friend? Which side will he choose?

Despatched to Beirut at the height of the civil war, newly appointed British spy Richard Brodick becomes embroiled with a mysterious Chinese operative known only as Fang.


Brodick finds himself in a new and dangerous game of double and triple agents, and double and triple crosses.

Can he trust anyone, even himself?

Spy Dragon is the second in the Brodick Cold War Spy Thriller series, the follow-up to the bestselling Spy Game, described by Luke Jennings, author of the Killing Eve series, as "A first-rate tale, with all the authority of first-hand experience".

Despatched to British spy Richard Brodick becomes embroiled with a dangerous Chinese agent in Beirut
Spy Richard Brodick should know better than to sleep with the enemy …

In a shady world where no-one is what they seem, Richard Brodick should know better than to sleep with the enemy …

The year is 1992. As a seasoned British agent, Richard Brodick now occupies a respectable – in as far as any spy can be respectable – position in the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service. The isolation and the danger don’t bother him; he survived far worse in childhood, and the respect of his bosses is sufficient.

But when a British man dies in a Chinese hotel, Brodick finds himself face-to-face once more with the ruthless and ambitious Chen Meilin, better known as Fang, codename DRAGON. Their working relationship both pleases and torments Brodick, but in this case he cannot operate without her.

As they delve deeper into the events surrounding Roger Peacock’s death, Brodick and Fang uncover corruption and betrayal at the heart of China’s communist regime. But as events unfold and their own conflicting interests, hopes and ambitions collide, it is not clear that either of them can survive, this time …

Spy Trap is the final book in John Fullerton’s well-received Brodick spy thriller trilogy. It will please readers of the previous books in the series (Spy Game and Spy Dragon) along with fans of Le Carré, Deighton et al.
