The Crocodile Hunter – Jonas Merrick Series 01 (2021)
A thrilling story of the secret services, their enemies and the society they operate in, building with unrelenting suspense to a superb climax, The Crocodile Hunter is Gerald Seymour writing at the top of his powers.
In the office at MI5 where he works, they call Jonas Merrick ‘the eternal flame’.
It isn’t a compliment.
It’s because he never goes out.
He never goes undercover, never does surveillance, never goes with the teams that kick down the doors or seize the suspects off the street.
He commutes into work and sits at his desk and then he goes home.
But Jonas has qualities the hot-shots fail to notice – a steely concentration, a ruthless ability to focus and find the enemy hiding in plain sight.
Hearing of a British Jihadi returning from Syria with murderous plans, Jonas sends out for a telling photograph – a crocodile, almost submerged, just its eyes above water as it waits for unsuspecting prey to drink at the riverbank.
Coming ashore near Dover, Cameron Jilkes is a young man from a broken home and a failed education, trained in the harshest theatre of war, driven to rage by loss and pain.
And this time, ‘the eternal flame’ must go out – to hunt the crocodile himself.
A novel displaying all the author’s many strengths, from his John le Carré-like ability to portray the intelligence world from top to bottom, to its line up of memorable supporting characters.
The Best Revenge – Jonas Merrick Series 04 (2024)
On the Mongolian steppes a general in the People’s Liberation Army stakes his career, and his life, on a GPS-free missile guidance system that will change the balance of power on the battlefield.
In Bath a young Chinese woman has secured the affections of a young brainiac working on that very problem.
In Leamington Spa a deep cover operative has given himself away.
And in London Jonas Merrick watches all, assessing, planning.
A moment, perhaps, for him to strike a blow to China’s espionage network in the UK.
One thing he does not see, however, is in Moscow.
An order given: ‘bring me his head’.
Tautly plotted and frighteningly authentic The Best Revenge cements Jonas Merrick as one of the great figures of modern spy fiction.
