We are delighted to announce that David Rose is our author of the month. His explosive debut novel Taking Morgan has received fantastic press…‘A smartly paced political thriller’ Observer

‘A compelling thriller and an invaluable guide to the most intractable conflict on earth’ Mail on Sunday

‘Among the novel’s strengths are the author’s in-depth knowledge of the region and its political complexities. Both an espionage yarn and the story of a marriage, it contains all the twists and double-crosses you could wish for, yet mercifully lacks the wham-bam formulaic clunkiness of more seasoned writers of spy fiction’ Sunday Times

‘Rose shuttles frantically but effectively between different worlds, ratcheting up the tension’ Guardian

‘The unravelling of Morgan’s plight, and Adam’s response to it, takes many interesting twists and turns, made the more convincing by Rose’s obvious mastery of his subject’ The Times
