THE MOST TIMELY, PROPULSIVE SPY THRILLER OF THE YEAR, FOR FANS OF
Moscow X, I Am Pilgrim and Slow Horses

An explosive conspiracy is on the verge of detonation.

A Korean man is poisoned in broad daylight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

A Russian intelligence officer is assassinated in a Washington hotel.

And a real-estate mogul has just become the 45th President of the United States.

The world teeters on the brink and three individuals find themselves caught up in the crosshairs:

Jenna, a seasoned CIA officer, whose past missions refuse to stay buried.

Lyosha, a student in Moscow who confronts Vladimir Putin on live TV only to suffer the consequences.

And Eric, a North Korean spy in the heart of the White House who adores the man he is working to undermine: the President.

In a world of shifting allegiances and betrayal, Red Star Down is a global and gripping thriller that explores the intricate web of politics, espionage, and deception during one of the most turbulent periods in recent history.

'Extraordinary...smart, sophisticated, suspenseful - and important.' LEE CHILD on Star of the North

Critic reviews

A compelling and suspenseful thriller that kept me gripped throughout (AJAY CHOWDHURY)
A richly satisfying thriller on an epic scale, magnificently conceived and brilliantly executed (ANDREW TAYLOR)
Immensely enjoyable. A rich, epic thriller in the grand tradition ... This is exactly what a contemporary thriller should be: a gripping narrative with intriguing twists, vivid characters and well-drawn settings that is not merely very well researched about geopolitics but sheds new light on them too (JEREMY DUNS)
