1. A Bird In Winter
A woman quietly abandons her London office and vanishes, using old tradecraft to stay ahead of shadowy pursuers tied to her past in a clandestine government unit. As she flees north through remote landscapes, the narrative interweaves her present-day survival with the story of how she was recruited, trained, and compromised, revealing the personal costs of secrecy and manipulation. It’s a tense, character-driven thriller about autonomy, loyalty, and the price of a life lived in the shadows.
