A propulsive and timely international thriller, which follows three individuals caught in the cross hairs of a global conspiracy, for fans of David McCloskey and Terry Hayes

A propulsive, timely spy thriller from the critically acclaimed author of STAR OF THE NORTH

An explosive conspiracy is on the verge of detonation...

A Korean man is poisoned in broad daylight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

A Russian intelligence officer is assassinated in a Washington hotel.

And a real-estate mogul has just become the 45th President of the United States.

The world teeters on the brink and three individuals find themselves caught up in the crosshairs-

Jenna, a seasoned CIA officer, whose past missions refuse to stay buried.

Lyosha, a student in Moscow who confronts Vladimir Putin on live TV only to suffer the consequences.

And Eric, a North Korean spy in the heart of the White House who adores the man he is working to undermine- the President.

In a world of shifting allegiances and betrayal, RED STAR DOWN is a global and gripping thriller that explores the intricate web of politics, espionage, and deception during one of the most turbulent periods in recent history.

Reviews for Red Star Down

A compelling and suspenseful thriller that kept me gripped throughout -- AJAY CHOWDHURY A richly satisfying thriller on an epic scale, magnificently conceived and brilliantly executed -- ANDREW TAYLOR Immensely enjoyable. A rich, epic thriller in the grand tradition ... This is exactly what a contemporary thriller should be: a gripping narrative with intriguing twists, vivid characters and well-drawn settings that is not merely very well researched about geopolitics but sheds new light on them too -- JEREMY DUNS A delightfully audacious spy story… a lot of fun to read, not least for John’s insight that for the three autocratic leaders [Trump, Putin, Kim Jong Un] politics has become…more about dynasty than democracy * The Times *
