Assassination Day: A Peter Ashton Novel - Hardcover

SIS officer Will Landon assumes he is facing a routine task when he is asked to investigate and vet the sensational novelized memoirs of Ross Frazer. By all records, Frazer was an ex-Intelligence officer, quite possibly involved in some long ago political assassinations, and is currently very much deceased. But events quickly take a deadly, unexpected turn. First the London literary agent in charge of the manuscript is found gruesomely murdered and his copy stolen by two people claiming to be with law enforcement. Then the body of the New York bookshop owner who was the original source of the manuscript is found brutally tortured and murdered.

This once simple situation quickly lands on the desk of Peter Ashton, now an assistant director of the SIS. In this confusing situation, Ashton clearly sees the footprints of a now disgraced former SIS director - but when he tries to locate her, he finds she's gone missing as well. With precious little to go on then, Ashton along with his protégé Will Landon must start making connections-and fast-in order to uncover who, and what is really behind this increasingly deadly situation.
