From the chart-topping author Eva Hudson, a new crime thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat.
A young American trader is found fatally poisoned in his office in the City of London. Two days later, a Latvian immigrant is discovered floating face down in the River Thames, brutally murdered. When Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg, the FBI's criminal investigator in London, starts to dig, she uncovers an unlikely link between these two cases via the murder of a congresswoman in Savannah, Georgia.
In the course of her investigations, Ingrid puts her own safety at greater risk than she ever has before. The problem is, she doesn't even know just how much danger she's in.
With little help from either her colleagues within the embassy, or the local police, Ingrid is running out of time to piece together the seemingly disconnected clues to track down the killer before he strikes again.
This time she's the target.
If you love Lee Child, eagerly await the new Michael Connolly and wonder how you survived between episodes of Homeland, the Ingrid Skyberg FBI Thrillers series could be just what you've been waiting for.
A NEW FBI HEROINE
Kill Plan is the third book in a series of thrillers set in the American embassy in London. If a US citizen gets into trouble, Agent Skyberg is on hand to fix things - by any means necessary.Q&A with Eva Hudson
Q: Why did you want to write about an FBI agent?The FBI get to investigate the most interesting crimes and they have access to exciting resources - like helicopters and automatic weapons. For a storyteller, that opens up a lot of possibilities that can take your story—and your reader—on more thrilling adventures.
Q: Why have you set your FBI thrillers in London?
London's my home town, I know it and love it and it never occurred to me to set the books anywhere else.
Q: But would an FBI agent really be working in London
Absolutely. The aim of FBI agents based in the American embassy in London is to work closely with the police and security services in the UK to help fight international terrorism, organized crime, cyber crime, and – this is where Ingrid comes in – general 'criminal matters'. As the FBI's sole representative in the Criminal Division, Ingrid has an awful lot of crime to fight.
Q: You're a Brit, so why have you used American spelling?
It's not just American spelling, I also use American English. The books are written from Ingrid's perspective - we're inside her head in every scene - so it makes sense that she would think 'sidewalk' and not pavement. Using American English was really the only option, but when the Brits speak, they always use British English.
