Book Details
About the Book
When credible leaks point to a Russian espionage operation in the UK, secret intelligence officer and former astronaut, John Stirling, is drawn into the investigation. At a global cybersecurity event, he encounters Rex Hampton, head of a powerful armaments firm, and Astrid Lazarenko, a Kyiv University tutor with heart-wrenching reasons of her own for staying close to Stirling.
As the operation's five strands gradually come to light, a trail of death and destruction leads to a vast technology park in rural Northumberland. There, in the most harrowing ordeal of his life, Stirling's professional and personal worlds collide.
SCREAM OF A ROSE is a fast-paced action thriller that twists and turns towards a high-stakes finale.
Have you met Mark Batey…
Mark Batey is a baby boomer, born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne.
As a student at Pembroke College, Cambridge, he chaired the college film society and, after five years in advertising, forged a career in the UK film industry.
This included two decades running FDA, the trade association for film distributors, the pivotal companies that acquire, release and promote films to audiences.
He wrote stories from childhood. Throughout his film career, he scripted articles, reports and speeches – a day without writing felt like a day lost.
His first published book, GRACE, was the life story of Northumberland's sea rescue heroine, Grace Darling, It became the first of a series recalling Victorians from the North-East who achieved remarkable feats with lasting legacies.
He has also embarked on a series of tense thrillers, unfolding against the backdrop of today's (worryingly shifting) geo-politics. He is delighted that FINAL HARBOUR, set in Russia, Malta and the UK, is published by BSP.
Mark divides his time between Northumberland and London.
