From one of our most treasured BBC broadcasters, The Spy Across the Water is the third instalment in James Naughtie's brilliant spy series, about three brothers whose lives are all entwined with the intelligence services.
Will Flemyng, originally trained as a spy, is now British ambassador to Washington. Meanwhile, his older brother Mungo is recuperating from a heart attack in their beloved Scottish highland family home, and Abel, the youngest of the three, has died mysteriously in America.
Abel's unexplained death sets in motion an unstoppable chain of events, beginning with an unexpected glimpse of a face at his funeral. Soon Will finds himself on a dangerous journey into his clandestine past, from conflict in Ireland to the long shadows of the Cold War.
Will possesses a silky veneer, but he often doesn't know who to trust, nor who trusts him. Now he finds himself alone once again as duty forces him to risk everything...
Why has the past come back to haunt him now?

A splendidly gripping and atmospheric evocation of this febrile period
The Daily Telegraph
Intelligent, thoughtful and very emotional
The Herald
The best kind of thriller - resonant, intelligent, suspenseful - and plausible
Lee Child
A thoughtful and detailed novel of statecraft and spycraft, recommended for fans of le Carré
Ian Rankin
The plot is driven by the engaging portrayals of its central characters, and when the focus shifts to Scotland, Naughtie's description of the Highlands is positively lyrical
Promoting Crime Fiction
Naughtie writes sophisticated, complex spy novels, rich in character and incident. The Spy Across the Water is perhaps his finest yet.
