With the eighth series of hit TV series Spooks due to finish over the Christmas period, we’ll all be looking for a rip-roaring spy thriller to fill the void in the new year. Here’s a taste of what to expect:

Suspended M16 agent Daniel Marchant is running out of time. He’s alongside a man strapped with explosives at the London Marathon. If they drop their speed the belt will detonate, killing all around them. But is Marchant secretly working for the terrorists? Marchant’s father, ex-Chief of M16, was accused by the CIA of treachery. To prove his innocence, Marchant must take a perilous journey via Poland and India to unearth his father’s dark past, test his own relationship with fellow spy Leila and challenge the heavy hand of America’s war on terror. Most of all, he has to learn to trust no one. No one.

Hailed by Lee Child as, ‘exactly what we need from a spy novel now,’ Dead Spy Running promises to set 2011 off with a bang.
