**Don't miss the gripping new espionage thriller by Charles Cumming, KENNEDY 35! Pre-order the paperback now**

Perfect for fans of John le Carré, a gripping and suspenseful spy thriller from ‘the master of the modern spy thriller’ (Mail on Sunday)

Hard-up Russia expert Dr Sam Gaddis finally has a lead for the book that could solve all his career problems. But the story of a lifetime becomes an obsession that could kill him.

When his source is found dead, Gaddis is alone on the trail of the Cold War’s deadliest secret: the undiscovered sixth member of the infamous Cambridge spy ring.

Suddenly threatened at every step and caught between two beautiful women, both with access to crucial evidence, Sam cannot trust anyone.

To get his life back, he must chase shadows through Europe’s corridors of power. But the bigger the lie, the more ruthlessly the truth is kept buried…

Praise for The Trinity Six

‘In the first rank of the new generation of espionage writers’ The Times

‘An utterly absorbing and compelling novel. A brilliant re-imagining of events surrounding the notorious Cambridge spy-ring’ William Boyd, bestselling author of Restless

‘Classy … an assured and richly enjoyable thriller’ Sunday Times

‘Delicate and supremely controlled, this is a spy story to be savoured, not rushed’ Daily Mail

‘None of the new generation of spy writers lives up to the standard set by Deighton, Forsyth and Le Carré. Enter Cumming, a long-awaited light at the end of a very long tunnel … As good as Le Carré – praise indeed’ Guardian

  • Brilliant read

    Most readers interested in espionage know about the Trinity Five, all graduates of Trinity College, Cambridge before WW II, already then spying for the Soviet Union, who continued serving and betraying the UK in sensitive government roles and positions. This novel is about another, sixth spy, active for half a decade and never flushed out… Or what? Time wise, TTS links WW II with today, thanks to an intriguing 91 year old character, a former spy.
    This carefully paced and -plotted story is about Dr Sam Gaddis, a financially-troubled history lecturer at University College London, another prestigious university. His latest book “Tsars” compared imperial Russian rulers with its current leader. It is not a bestseller. What he needs is a stunning shocker of a book that will solve his money troubles once and for all. Cumming’s book is about the search by Dr Sam for an elusive Cold War spy called Edward Crane and a man or operation codenamed ATTILLA, persistently frustrated by MI 6. Having reached Ch 39 on p 275 and looking forward to what happens next and the end game, still 125 pp away, I warmly recommend this thriller.
    Charles Cumming has spelled out and used well the copious literature about the Trinity Five. The action covers a number of EU countries and stretches to New Zealand (!) What propels readers on is the likeable academic and anti hero Sam through whose eyes much of the terrifying events, the killings and the threats are seen. Understanding and partly eluding today’s spy tradecraft and surveillance technology (internet, telephone, public transport devices) comes quickly to Sam. I am rooting for him to succeed, but mentioning ‘Dresden’ early on has made me anxious about a plausible, not silly ending.

    Positieve punten

    • Fantasierijk

    Negatieve punten

    • Saai

    Het is een ontspannend en gemakkelijk leesbaar boek; mist evenwel de spanning en dwingt daardoor niet om het in een keer uit te lezen.

    Positieve punten

    • Spannend
    • Meeslepend verhaal
    • Goede verhaallijn

    Wie alles al gelezen heeft van John Le Carré en Len Deighton zou Charles Cummings echt eens moeten proberen. Helaas nog niet veel vertaald in het Nederlands.
