On Halloween 31/10/20, The Glimmer Girl crossed the threshold, claiming its place amongst the vast pantheon of spy-fiction . Published initially via Kindle https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08BS1KYTQ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i1
and now part of the outside world and everything in it. The words on the page, just like any other novel, are free to paint pictures in the mind of the reader.
In the Glimmer Girl’s case taking you to the earliest days of WW1 with Commander Smith-Cumming, the first chief (C) of the Secret Intelligence Service. To the early 1920s in London and Ireland as following an ominous order, C assembles Operation BARBELL as a means of atonement and revenge.
You’ll find yourself in the midst of a mid 70s deniable mission in the arid mountains of Libya, and to a London of the near future where you’ll meet GLIMMER herself, Siobhan Uhuru-Behan, as she undertakes her first MI6 mission with a reactivated Operation BARBELL, as she tracks the Eighth Day cult.
GLIMMER’s pursuit will take you from the Crystal light and waves of Cote d’Azure to the wilds of Iceland.
Can the long-mothballed BARBELL project a century in the planning really meet the threats of tomorrow?
GLIMMER has eight days to prove it.
