🚨 If you love spy fiction, meet your new beloved.
I interviewed Alex Preston about his novel, A Stranger in Corfu — and we went deep on betrayal, MI6, Philby and why the best spy stories are basically moral horror. @ahmpreston

A dream early review for my forthcoming book #stalinsApostles.

"Elegantly written and stocked with charismatic, spectacularly flawed characters, it's a captivating, psychologically probing spy saga."
@Tonisenior's forthcoming STALIN'S APOSTLES receives a great review in Publishers Weekly! Read more: bit.ly/3OyThPn
