'COMPELLING, TIMELY AND LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY' CLARE MACKINTOSH

Fresh from successfully reinvestigating his childhood friend's mysterious death, Q is hired as a civilian contractor by the police in his sleepy hometown to look into the unsolved murder of tech millionaire turned online antique dealer, Laurence Noble. Six months ago, Noble was tortured and killed, a circular object made of gold and inscribed with mysterious runes found in his pocket. As Q investigates, he finds himself dragged into a chilling conspiracy where past and present meet in a way he could not possibly have imagined.

'PAY ATTENTION, THRILLER FANS ... HUGELY ENTERTAINING' SARAH HILARY

Compelling, timely and laugh-out-loud funny; this is an unmissable series for Bond fans old and new. I can't wait to read the next one * Clare Mackintosh *
Vaseem Khan is on fire with this enchanting series of Bondverse adventures. The charismatic, if somewhat curmudgeonly, MI6 inventor Q is back and in searing form. The Man with the Golden Compass is a lively, sharply observed small-town murder mystery, in which Q finds himself working alongside his ex, and the result is a breathless romp where past and present collide in the most delicious of ways! Five golden stars! * Janice Hallett *
Tremendous fun! Smart and stylish, with all the wit and ingenuity you'd expect from Q Branch. The Q Mysteries will delight Bond and Christie fans alike * Tom Hindle *
Pay attention, thriller fans. Vaseem Khan has delivered another hugely entertaining tale of Q's adventures beyond MI6. A dastardly plot involving evil treasure hunters is the engine that powers the story but the stars are Q, his endearing oddball family, and his arsenal of devices, not least of which is his own utterly disarming charm * Sarah Hilary *
