I’m delighted to announce that I have a new spy-action thriller, Octagon, coming out with Penguin Michael Joseph in May this year! A sequel (which I’m currently writing) will follow in 2027.
Octagon follows former SIS (MI6) officer Stella McRae as she teams up with ex-SAS operator Tommy Kane to race across Europe and stop a deadly terror threat while trying to uncover the conspiracy behind it. If you love James Bond, Jason Bourne, Mission Impossible, Black Doves, Night Manager and anything else in that genre, then Octagon should be right up your street.
Former US Navy SEAL and NYT #1 bestselling author Jack Carr was kind enough to read it and said this: ‘Espionage, action, terrorism, mystery and mayhem, C. J. Merritt delivers the goods and then some! Octagon bleeds authenticity from the first page to the last. Read it today.’ (Thanks Jack!)
If you’d like to pre-order a copy, you can find it listed online with most bookshops now, including Waterstones, Foyles and Amazon. Thanks for your support!
