82 Hyde Park Lane

About the Book

In September 1961, Alex Logan, a covert CIA operative, emerges from his posting in Egypt and is thrust headlong into a mission: to stop an assassin plotting the murder of the British Prime Minister. Armed with the name of the killer and the time and place of the attack, Logan believes he’s a step ahead. But from the first move, nothing goes as planned. The assassin proves to be more than just a threat—he’s an adversary of chilling brilliance and unrelenting cruelty. As Logan races through the streets of Paris and the alleyways of London in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, he finds himself not just battling a foe but unraveling a web of secrets that strike disturbingly close to home. With every passing minute, the stakes escalate—not only for the Prime Minister’s life but for Logan’s own survival. And as the hunt reaches its explosive climax at 82 Hyde Park Lane, Logan discovers that the key to the assassin’s nature lies within a place where the living and the dead keep their darkest secrets. The clock is ticking. And the truth may destroy him before the killer does.
