Brought to you by Penguin. From the Sunday Times bestselling author Manda Scott, a high-octane, stirring and exciting historical adventure full of intrigue and action. Perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Robert Harris and Conn Iggulden. TO SAVE ROME HE MUST PLACE HIS TRUST IN ANOTHER. Sebastos Pantera, known to his many enemies as the Leopard and something of a lone wolf, is the spy the Emperor Nero uses only for the most challenging and important of missions. His next mission: to find the most dangerous man in Rome's empire and bring him to bloody justice. His prey is cunning, subtle and ruthless. Saulos has pledged to bring about the destruction of Rome and her provinces and now fate, good luck and planning have given him the means to do so. The brilliance of Saulos' plan will be difficult to combat, but Pantera has a new ally: a king in the making who could change the future of his people - a man he can finally trust. If they work together, they could bring a province back from the edge of ruin. But first, they must attempt the impossible; an assault on an invulnerable fortress, where failure means death to them both. "Intricately woven, cleverly plotted. Miss this at your peril!" -- BEN KANE "Intelligent, historical...I was bereft when I turned the final page." -- ROBERT LOW "A dazzling, wonderfully crafted tale. Spellbinding." -- GILES KRISTIAN © Manda Scott 2011 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Rome: The Art of War

Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Treachery of Spies by Manda Scott, read by Philip Stevens, Emma Gregory and Sally Scott. An elderly woman of striking beauty is found murdered in Orleans, France. Her identity has been cleverly erased but the method of her death is very specific: she has been killed in the manner of traitors to the Resistance in World War Two. Tracking down her murderer leads police inspector Inès Picaut back to 1940s France where the men and women of the Resistance were engaged in a desperate fight for survival against the Nazi invaders. To find answers in the present Picaut must discover what really happened in the past, untangling a web of treachery and intrigue that stretches back to the murder victim's youth: a time when unholy alliances were forged between occupiers and occupied, deals were done and promises broken. The past has been buried for decades, but, as Picaut discovers, there are those in the present whose futures depend on it staying that way – and who will kill to keep their secrets safe... * 'The most exquisite story of heroism, deception, love and treachery you’ll find this year.' Simon Mayo 'This is a rich vein for fiction, and Scott does it more than justice, with this beautifully imagined, beautifully written, smart, sophisticated - but fiercely suspenseful - thriller.' Lee Child 'A fast-moving tightly-wrought thriller. The destination is in fact as unexpected as it’s satisfying - and very thought-provoking.' Robert Goddard 'The most exciting, involving thriller I've read in an age, and I can't recommend it highly enough.' Mick Herron 'A Treachery of Spies is a masterclass in thriller-writing. It is a heart-racing, heart-wrenching read, conceived with passion and executed with frightening skill. An awe-inspiring achievement.' Giles Kristian

Rome: The Emperor's Spy (Rome 1)

»Suverän läsning.« Skånska Dagbladet »Suverän blandning av historisk roman & thriller.« The Sunday Times En äldre kvinna hittas mördad i Orléans i Frankrike. Alla tecken som skulle ha kunnat avslöja hennes identitet har skickligt eliminerats, men dödsmetoden är mycket specifik: Hon har avrättats på samma sätt som förrädare avrättades av motståndsrörelsen under andra världskriget. Spåren efter mördaren leder kriminalinspektör Inès Picaut tillbaka till fyrtiotalets Frankrike där män och kvinnor i motståndsrörelsen organiserade sig mot den nazistiska ockupationsmakten i en desperat kamp för överlevnad. För att komma vidare med utredningen måste Picaut ta reda på vad som hänt i det förflutna. Ett nätverk av spioner börjar framträda, tillsammans med en intrig som sträcker sig tillbaka till mordoffrets ungdom: En tid när oheliga allianser ingicks mellan ockuperade och ockupanter, då avtal upprättades och löften bröts. Det förflutna har varit begravt i decennier och det finns de vars framtid är beroende av att det fortsätter vara så. Och som är beredda att döda för att bevara sina hemligheter. I översättning av Kjell Waltman. MANDA SCOTT är en skotsk författare och journalist som skriver för The Independent, Guardian, Daily Telegraph och Times.
