It won't be news if you follow me on social media (what do you mean, where can you find me? Have a look at the bottom of this page!) but there's a new Bill Kemp novel on the way.

After the searing heat of the Australian outback, Bill is now deposited in the freezing temperatures of the Austrian Alps in mid-winter, with a foe more deadly than any he has yet encountered. Plus he's drawn into the murky world of espionage and a conspiracy that's set to change everything.

The book is written and I'm deep into edits with the publishers HarperCollins at the moment. But while you're waiting, the cover has been unveiled, together with the publication date – mark November 7 in your diary, and if you're feeling really feisty, you can pre-order here!

I have to say I'm particularly liking the tagline:

It was a simple errand. Collect a package. Save the world.
