Anthony Price Synopses: Colonel Butler’s Wolf by Anthony Price is the third book in the Dr. David Audley series. The Soviets are recruiting again, quietly targeting Britain’s universities – an approach that has worked before. But this time, their goal is not intelligence gathering. It is sabotage.
Dr. David Audley uncovers the plot almost by accident and is quickly drawn into a hunt that stretches from Oxford’s hushed reading rooms to the desolate moors beyond Hadrian’s Wall. Somewhere within the academic world is a Soviet agent posing as a scholar, laying the foundations for catastrophe.
As Audley closes in, he has no way of knowing how high the stakes truly are: the man he seeks has been ordered to succeed at any cost. Failure is not an option – and neither is survival.
In October Men – the fourth book in the Dr. David Audley series from author Anthony Price, British Intelligence officer David Audley abruptly departs for Italy, bringing his wife along without permission. Rumors quickly swirl that he may have defected, drawing the attention of Italy’s chief of security – especially when his arrival exposes a dangerous rogue communist.
Yet Audley has his own agenda, embarking on a high-stakes investigation where failure could mean the difference between life and death.
Our Man in Camelot is the sixth book in Anthony Price’s Dr. David Audley series. When a U.S. Air Force plane disappears on a routine flight from its British base, its top pilot vanishes with it. The CIA begins an investigation, uncovering baffling clues that draw British Intelligence officer David Audley into a high-stakes chase. His pursuit leads him back to the sixth century in a gripping battle of wits against the Soviet secret police.
War Game by Anthony Price is the seventh Dr. David Audley book. In the quiet countryside of modern England, a war reenactment recreates the carnage of the Civil War – but when the mock battle ends, a real body turns up in the Swine Brook. At the same time, an aristocratic yet penniless revolutionary claims to have uncovered a hidden stash of ‘Cromwell’s Gold.’
Called in to investigate, British Intelligence officer David Audley finds himself navigating a tangled web where seventeenth-century secrets collide with the deadly intrigues of contemporary espionage in a masterfully crafted thriller of deception and counter-deception.
The ’44 Vintage by Anthony Price is the eighth book in the David Audley series. A few weeks after D-Day, as the German army retreats and Allied forces press forward, Major O’Conor – former liaison to the Yugoslav Partisans – is waging his own private war. Leading a hand-picked team of ruthless fighters deep behind enemy lines, he soon proves that French Resistance units and British Intelligence agents are a bigger threat to his mission than the Germans themselves.
Unluckily for him, two interpreters in his task force are Second-Lieutenant David Audley and Corporal Butler, already showing the ingenuity and skill that will later take them to the top of their field.
O’Conor’s true objective remains a mystery to all – until the shocking revelation that awaits in the final pages.
