Adam Brookes was for many years a journalist and foreign correspondent for BBC News. He reported from China, Indonesia, the US and many other countries, Iraq and Afghanistan among them. His debut novel, Night Heron, was nominated for the 2014 CWA John Creasey Dagger and appeared on best of the year lists in the TLS, Kirkus and NPR; its follow-up Spy Games was nominated for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger. The Spy's Daughter is his third novel. He lives with his family in Takoma Park, Maryland.
"[Adam Brookes] does an excellent job of keeping the action moving
and the tension high, making Spy Games a difficult book to put
down.... Brookes has separated himself from the pack: I've read a
lot of very good China books by excellent journalists, but I've
never before stayed up far too late on a work night to finish one,
unwilling to go to sleep until I knew how it ended."--Los Angeles
