Jake Ord is a retired secret services agent seeking peace in the British countryside. He seems to have finally escaped his turbulent past. That is until one evening a sniper tries to kill him…

Memories of his past life come flooding back and when another man from the village is found burned to death in his car that same night, Jake’s agent instinct kicks in.

Was this a case of mistaken identity? Or were they both indeed targets?

Who on earth could be trying to assassinate him in sleepy Northumberland, and more importantly, why?

Jake identifies another MI5 agent, Anna Mason, snooping around the village, supposedly prepping and securing the area ahead of a royal visit.

Together, with the help of his ex-colleague and friend Dixie, they discover that nobody is who they seem, and that both the victim of the car fire and one of Jake’s close friends were both also former agents, raising even more questions.

Could this really all be a coincidence?

The service is evidently unhappy with Jake’s poking around, and measures to shut down his investigations seem to be coming right from the top of MI5…

What could they possibly be trying to hide and what relevance does this have to Jake?

Never Look Back is a fast-paced spy thriller with intrigue and paranoia at every turn…
