About This Book
When someone is selling British weapons to ISIS, the question isn't just who — it's how deep the rot goes. In Fall Guys, Kara Wright takes the case alone, navigating a world of arms dealers, political cover-ups, and people whose loyalties shift like sand. Ian Andrew drops his protagonist into a conspiracy where the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous simply knowing it becomes. The stakes are national, but the tension is personal — a woman operating without backup in a game where the rules keep changing and the people she's working for may be the ones she should fear most.
Andrew writes with the clipped confidence of someone who understands intelligence work from the inside out, and it shows in how the story moves — economical, precise, no wasted motion. The Wright & Tran series rewards readers who pay attention, and this third installment deepens both the world and the characters without slowing down. Kara Wright is the kind of protagonist who earns your respect rather than asks for it, and watching her think her way through impossible situations is genuinely satisfying.
