About this title

Review:

‘A string of brilliantly mounted set-pieces... superbly laconic wisecracks’ The Times

‘Like lying back in a hot bath with a large malt whisky – absolute bliss... superbly combines violent action with a strong emotional undertow. The plotting in Faith is masterly, the atmospheric descriptions superb...’ Sunday Telegraph

From the Back Cover:

Bernard Samson has known that he is not getting the full picture from London Central ever since discovering that his wife Fiona was a double agent.

Werner Volkmann has been cast out by London Central as untrustworthy. Yet Werner still seems able to pick up information that Bernard should have been told.
