The Eye Collector

Island of Cyprus - 1984

An SIS (MI6) operative is murdered during a surveillance operation. Shortly after, James, head of Near-East Ops. and Eddie are kidnapped and forcibly taken to war-torn Lebanon. Why Lebanon? For what reason?

They soon realise their surveillance may have been close to uncovering something others want to keep deeply hidden.

What is it? They don't know, but this will not save them from the threat of torture and death at the hands of Hani, a psychopathic killer and collector of human eyeballs. Escape seems impossible.

Drama and suspense involving some genuinely evil and frighteningly ruthless people.

'This is exactly the sort of spy tale I like to read, one that both entertains, but is also informative.' Colin Power, Academic, educationalist and author

'A sprightly and entertaining spy thriller with down-to-earth realism ...' Writers' Services, London
