Tim Stevens_John Purkiss Thrillers #1-3 (EPUB+MOBI)

The police have Internal Affairs departments. British Intelligence has John Purkiss, the Ratcatcher. Purkiss's job is straightforward. Track down agents of the intelligence services who are taking kickbacks, committing crimes, or otherwise abusing their positions. And bring them to justice. Straightforward doesn't mean easy... After a renegade British former spymaster, Fallon, is sighted in the Baltic city of Tallinn on the eve of a historic summit meeting between the Russian and Estonian presidents, Purkiss is despatched to investigate, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear Europe, and the world, apart. But Purkiss has personal reasons for going after Fallon. Four years ago, Fallon was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Purkiss's fiancée, a murder Purkiss himself witnessed. Now, in an atmosphere of treachery and sudden violence, as the countdown begins to a potentially catastrophic conflict between Russia and the West, Purkiss must keep his desire for revenge under control for the sake of the world's - and his own - survival.



JOHN PURKISS, THE RATCATCHER, RETURNS...

Purkiss’s job is to track down rogue elements within British intelligence. Summoned to Amsterdam to investigate a cryptic message about one such agent, Darius Pope, Purkiss quickly discovers he’s facing an opponent of unusual ingenuity – and capable of extreme violence. Within hours Pope has disappeared, and two CIA agents are dead.

In Virginia, a young musician, Nina Ramirez, finds herself haunted by watchers, men who seem to be stalking her at every turn. Are the watchers genuine, or products of her increasingly troubled mind?

As the body count rises, Purkiss pursues Pope to the eastern United States, desperate to stop him while avoiding a potentially disastrous political confrontation between the CIA and British Intelligence. But Purkiss is faced with two questions: why is Pope systematically murdering CIA agents, and who will be next?

With assistance from an unexpected source, Purkiss discovers he’s in a race against time before Pope’s and Nina’s destinies converge in New York City. Something he’ll be able to prevent only by uncovering the secret of a monstrous, fifteen-year-old Honduran operation known as Caliban…

Darker, harder-edged and more terrifying than Ratcatcher, Delivering Caliban confronts John Purkiss in ways – physically, emotionally, and morally – he’s never yet experienced.



On a summer’s morning in the leafy, well-to-do English county of Surrey, the Home Secretary is conducting a highly secret meeting with a member of MI5, the British Security Service. A sniper takes aim, hits his target, and a chain of events is set in motion that will have momentous repercussions.

John Purkiss is tasked with hunting down rogue spies within SIS, Britain’s overseas intelligence service. So when he’s asked to investigate an assassination suspected to have been the work of an agent within MI5, he refuses. The Security Service can catch its own rats.

Then Purkiss is subject to a violent attack in his own home, an attack which leaves his closest friend near to death. And suddenly he has a personal reason for becoming involved.

Gradually his pursuit of the truth exposes a tortuous conspiracy which reaches deep into the very heart of British counterintelligence and the body politic. Forced to enlist the help of an old enemy, a man he’d sworn to kill, and in an atmosphere of increasing paranoia and distrust, Purkiss finds himself doubting the motives of the very people closest to him, as he nears the final, climactic showdown with the killer known as the Jokerman...
