Skorpion's Death

The third adventure in the classic Cody series of espionage thrillers.Ex-spy Cody is hired to find a pilot who disappeared with his plane somewhere in North Africa. Her search pits her against Skorpion, a terrorist group plotting to establish radical Islamist caliphates across the Arab world, a discovery that forces her into a brutal, agonizing death-march for survival across Tunisia's scorching, desert hell-scape."The events of a complicated plot are neatly strung on a taut thread of tension. It's Cody's mind and voice, however, that steal this book." Publishers Weekly"Cody is a breath of fresh air. She has style and guts. Mr Brierley is a fine writer and Cody is well worth getting to know." Daily Telegraph"Just the right mix of surprises, violence, bloodshed, terror and erotica." Coventry Evening Telegraph"Brierley's engrossing first person narrative becomes addictive. He engages all the senses with tactile descriptions of exotic locations and harrowing images of physical action. The suspense becomes palpable." Boston Herald"A stunner in more ways than one."
