Welcome to my new novel, A Conspiracy of Shadows, the second instalment in the Tommy Henshaw Trilogy.

The smoke of Operation Trojan has barely cleared when Tommy Henshaw and Jane Whelen are thrust onto the front lines of a far deadlier game.

Jane, now embedded within MI5’s newest and most secretive covert operations unit—The Increment—oversees missions too sensitive, too deniable, for official channels. Tommy, one of the unit’s founding operatives and a former Royal Marine Commando, faces his first overseas deployment: a shadow war to uncover a conspiracy linking Colombia’s FARC rebels, the Provisional IRA, and the Basque separatist group ETA.

Each faction seeks power through chaos. FARC crave military expertise. The IRA hunger for stolen Stinger missiles. Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel sees only profit in the bloodshed. As alliances shift and loyalties fracture, Tommy and Jane are drawn ever deeper into a labyrinth of deception, violence, and betrayal.

In a world where secrets are currency and trust is fatal, they must balance duty against desire, loyalty against love—and decide how much of themselves they are willing to sacrifice to survive.

Tense, intelligent, and deeply human, A Conspiracy of Shadows explores the true cost of secrecy—and the price of survival in a world without mercy.

This second adventure featuring Tommy Henshaw—agent, handler, and spy—and his MI5 partner and commanding officer, Jane Whelen, is available for pre-release now.
