Bishop's Endgame

"Laced with absurdity & stylistically daring... Beckner's a razzle-dazzle showman at the top of the thriller heap." EDITOR'S PICK, Publishers Weekly
"Michael Frost Beckner revs up a new series rooted in his original film SPY GAME, which was a huge influence on my early novels. What a pleasure to be back in the company of Tom Bishop and Nathan Muir in these brilliantly executed sequels. Full of twists and turns, these are first-class spy novels with a smart, gritty atmosphere." - CHARLES CUMMING, New York Times & Sunday Times Best-selling Author of KENNEDY 35 and BOX 88

Nathan Muir: Put away some money so you can die someplace warm. And don't ever touch it. Not for anyone. Ever.
Bishop: Okay, is that it?
Nathan Muir: Don't ever risk your life for an asset. If it comes down to you or them...send flowers.

"A chess game...laid out in the real world of espionage." BRAD PITT, Spy Game
Told by remarkably hapless but doggedly faithful CIA lawyer Russell Aiken, in Bishop's Endgame, Tom Bishop and Nathan Muir will have their final face-off along a border between two countries, two centuries, two world orders; between life and death and two versions of themselves: who they want to be and who the Spy Game makes them.
"A thinking man's thriller... A real adrenaline blast... I loved it!" ROBERT REDFORD, Spy Game
Buy Now and return to the world of Nathan Muir and Tom Bishop but be warned: in Spy Game, "It's not how you play the game... It's how the game plays you."
