The Mephisto Threat
MIRA Books

Ex-army. Ex-police. Unofficial MI5 spook.
Meet Paul Tallis – a spy for the 21st Century

In Istanbul, crime journalist Garry Morello is executed in cold blood. Moments before his death, he meets with old friend Paul Tallis, hinting that he has uncovered a link between international terrorism and organised crime back home.

On the run from the Turkish authorities, Tallis makes his way back to London and passes the Intel to his MI5 handler.

Sent undercover in Birmingham to investigate the threat, Tallis’s mission is to infiltrate the inner circle of crime boss Johnny Kennedy. Once inside, Tallis must determine if the charismatic gangster is involved in planning the biggest terrorist attack on Britain – or if his MI5 paymasters are the ones he should be watching.

Forwarded the wrong email...
Forgot an important meeting…

After acting on false intelligence, officer Paul Tallis shoots a suspected terrorist in a Birmingham shopping centre. Suspended from his job, his career is over.

A year later, Tallis is approached by a shadowy figure working for MI5. The offer is simple – unearth four illegal immigrants accidentally released from prison and hand them over to the authorities.

The plan runs like clockwork, until Tallis makes an ugly discovery. Now it’s down to Tallis to unravel the complicated game he has become a pawn in – and make sure he reaches the last exile before anyone else…
