‘Alex Shaw is one of the best thriller writers around!’ Stephen Leather

A TRAITOR WHO CAN’T BE CAUGHT
French Intelligence officer Sophie Racine is tasked with travelling into the heart of a warzone in Ukraine. Her mission is to assassinate a Russian spy who took the French secret service apart piece by piece and gave their secrets to the Kremlin.

A PRISONER WHO CAN’T BE KILLED
Ex-SAS trooper and MI6 Officer Aidan Snow is also in Ukraine. Sent by British Intelligence, he must extract an innocent citizen caught up in the conflict in rebel-controlled Donetsk.

A WAR THAT CAN’T BE WON
When their missions collide, Snow and Racine find themselves outgunned and outnumbered. Even if they make it out of the warzone alive, danger won’t be far behind...

Perfect for fans of Killing Eve, Chris Ryan, James Deegan and Vince Flynn, this is an explosive action thriller you won’t be able to put down.

Don’t miss the first book in the explosive Sophie Racine thriller series!

A new to me author but not for long. This was an ace read and it has a FEMALE lead who is personable, intelligent, has major skills, and has a ruthless streak hiding a soft core. She may not be the friendliest of folk but if you are part of her team, then she has your back. I loved learning about Sophie's family history and what triggered her into becoming the human weapon that she is. The DGSE don't know how lucky they are to have her on their side! The action moves from France to Ukraine and this mission has a very personal edge for Sophie. Along the way, she accumulates a ragtag bunch of allies, including MI^ officer Aiden Snow. He has his own mission, running parallel to Sophie's. Will they work together smoothly or will there be a crisis of priorities? Racine is a kick-butt character. She could show Bond a thing or two. Really enjoyed the fact that there was no real romance introduced between Sophie and Aiden - this stayed a true thriller. Loving the secondary characters - even when some of them are a tad dubious. I'm sure that in further books far more traitors will be found. Great book!
