'Cosy crime goes high-tech ... Brilliant' REVEREND RICHARD COLES

Q is out of MI6 . . .
. . . and in over his head

After Major Boothroyd (aka Q) is unexpectedly ousted from his role with British Intelligence developing technologies for MI6's Double O agents, he is adrift, unsure of his place in a world where the stakes aren't always life or death. But when he learns that his childhood friend, renowned quantum computer scientist Peter Napier, has died in mysterious circumstances, Q is drawn back to his sleepy hometown of Wickstone-on-Water.

Frustrated by the police, who consider the case closed, Q is compelled to investigate, starting with a cryptic note Napier sent him on the day of his death. Q soon discovers that Napier's ground-breaking work may have attracted sinister forces . . . but can he decode the truth before danger closes in?

'Even if you're not a Bond fan, you can't fail to enjoy this solidly plotted and unexpectedly funny blend of nostalgia and new technology' THE GUARDIAN

'A witty, clever addition to the Bond renaissance' HEAT MAGAZINE
