About the book
The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Tom Marlowe series returns!
They tried to bury the past. Now the past is burying them.
Tom Marlowe's partner Trix Preston hasn't mentioned Operation CASTLE ROCK in five years. She doesn't need to – it was pre-MI5 hacking work, corporate espionage to pay off a debt, nothing worth remembering.
Until three GCHQ analysts connected to CASTLE ROCK turn up dead across Europe, one every seventy-two hours.
Someone is eliminating everyone who knew about the operation – a five-year-old MI5 project buried in Edinburgh's financial district where British Intelligence's black budget meets corporate fraud.
Trix's name is on the list.
The assassin is already in Scotland.
And with the pattern holding, she has three days before the killer comes for her, and the only person who knows why someone inside MI5 would want CASTLE ROCK erased is a ghost from Trix's past who shouldn't still be breathing.
Now Marlowe must protect his partner while hunting for files that prove who sold out CASTLE ROCK five years ago. But in Edinburgh's shadows, the deeper he digs, the more he realizes the woman who taught Trix to survive might be the same one trying to get her killed.
Some secrets stay buried in ledgers. Others stay buried in bodies.
And in Edinburgh, they're burning both.
The eleventh book in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of Tom Marlowe thrillers, written by New York Times #1 Bestseller Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, Burning Ledgers is perfect for fans of the Bourne movies, Burn Notice, Mission Impossible, Slow Horses, Jack Ryan, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, Lee Child, Mick Herron and Robert Ludlum, among others.

Meanwhile, his former colleagues, an elite FBI surveillance unit, are closing in. He's got little time to solve the murder and collect the evidence he needs to prove his innocence.

About the book
His team double-crossed and left him for dead. Now he’s back to kill them all.
Solomon Church is a ghost. An ex-special forces operative trained for the most dangerous covert missions, he’s been living off the grid for a decade in self-imposed exile—hiding from the men who betrayed him.
Ten years ago, Church and his team were dispatched to the DRC to eliminate General Zawadi, an African warlord profiteering from a horrifying cobalt slave mine. Their cover is simple: working close protection for British business magnate Sir Walter Blackthorn, there to negotiate a cobalt trade deal for the UK. But as they play their parts, waiting for the right moment to strike, Church comes to realise they may not be the only ones planning something...
Now, Blackthorn is back in the spotlight—his vast business empire turning into an unstoppable political machine, driving him straight toward the highest seat of power in Britain. For most, he’s a visionary leader. For Church, he’s the man who turned a righteous mission into a brutal betrayal, and the very reason his old teammates deserve to die. To stop Blackthorn, Church must step out of the shadows and into a deadly game of espionage, political conspiracy, and the kind of revenge only his special forces training could have prepared him for.
But he knows Blackthorn won’t come quietly. Surrounded by the men Church once called brothers, he’ll be forced to call on all of his skills and experience if he hopes to right the wrongs of his past, and finally finish what he started all those years ago. Blackthorn already killed him once. Now it’s his turn to repay the favour...
***
The Exile is an action-packed high-stakes military and spy thriller, loaded with special forces tradecraft and explosive twists. Join Church on his crusade for revenge, as he deals his own brand of vigilante justice to those who deserve it most. Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Mark Greaney, Lee Child, and readers of espionage and CIA thrillers, this is the high-octane first mission of Solomon Church—a lone operative who’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.

About the book
This “swashbuckling, spine tingling, bloody good masterpiece of an adventure novel” (James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author) about a man who follows in the footsteps of his pirate forebears to solve the mystery of his parents' murders and find the greatest treasure in the world.
On a yacht in the warm blue waters of the Caribbean, a little boy named Alex Hawke, hidden in a secret compartment, witnesses the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of two strange men. The only survivors of the attack, Alex and his father’s black parrot, Sniper, are sent back to the island off the coast of England where his family had lived and where generations of Hawkes have called home ever since their pirate forebear, the legendary Blackhawke, was betrayed and hung by the British.
Decades later, the boy, now a grown man and a naval hero, returns to the Caribbean on a special mission for the United States and Great Britain. His task is to find a secret Stealth submarine that has mysteriously disappeared and the men responsible for the theft. Once there, however, Hawke begins to have flashbacks about the night of his parents’ murder. He has also brought along with him a piece of paper his father had pressed into his hands before locking him into the compartment—an ancient treasure map.
Hawke begins to puzzle through his own tragic history and the meaning of the map, even as the search for the submarine intensifies. As Hawke nears the end of his search for his parents’ killers and the men who stole the submarine, he begins to realize that they are one and the same and that to the victor not only will go unimaginable military power but also one of the greatest treasures in the world.
