Thriller Spy

Will Cochrane is part of an extremely secret MI6/CIA team. He and his team handle the real difficult missions and report to no one but the President and Prime Minister. When a mission to ex-filtrate a defecting spy goes wrong it looks like his team could be disbanded. Now Will must take the only lead he has... a rumor of a piece of paper and try to discover what went wrong with the mission and where the defector that got away is before it's too late. What Will discovers is both shocking and dangerous to millions of people. SLING SHOT is a well written spy thriller with a good story line. The characters are believable and even though you wish a little that the lead was more of the indestructible can see ninjas at night kind of guy, Will Cochrane is tough but real. No worries, Will kicks butt when he needs to just not ten guys at once with one hand tied behind his back. SLING SHOT is a page turner that grabs you from the beginning and holds you till the end. Matthew Dunn is a great story teller and I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the Spycatcher series.

SUMMARY

Matthew Dunn uses his experience as a former MI6 field officer to bring transfixing realism to Slingshot, his third Spycatcher novel featuring Will Cochrane—MI6’s, and now the CIA’s, most prized asset and deadliest weapon. In Slingshot, Cochrane is ordered to recover a mysterious document stolen by a Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SRV) traitor working for a former high-ranking East German Stasi officer. The officer, years before, had instigated a secret pact between Russian and U.S. generals. The agreement stipulated that should it be broken, an assassin would immediately be set loose after an unknown target. The SRV has sent their own version of Cochrane, a cold-blooded, brilliant operative, to retrieve the document, pitting spycatcher against spycatcher. Slingshot, with its cat-and-mouse espionage, brutal action, and complex protagonist, is a must-read for fans of Robert Ludlum and Lee Child.
