A Hidden Enemy
By Peter J Charles
A Hidden Enemy A Tom Kessler Thriller – Book 3
A covert British team. A Russian operation already in motion. One mistake could trigger a global crisis.
When disgraced Russian intelligence officer Dmitri Volkov resurfaces in the UK, MI5’s off-the-books unit is forced into a race they cannot afford to lose. His objective is precise: steal the guidance data for a next-generation missile system — technology that could shift the balance of power far beyond Europe.
Tom Kessler and his small, unconventional team are the only ones in position to stop him.
Working in the shadows, they must turn a compromised insider, track a seasoned illegal, and hold the operation together after a brutal attack leaves the team fractured.
But Volkov isn’t the real problem.
Moscow has already escalated. A GRU colonel has been sent to take control — a man whose presence means the operation is no longer deniable, and failure is no longer an option.
As the pressure closes in, the team is forced into a high-risk deception with no margin for error and no one they can call for backup.
Because when an off-the-books operation goes wrong, there’s no official version of events.
Just consequences.
A Hidden Enemy is a tightly plotted British espionage thriller built on real intelligence tradecraft — where the threat is state-level and the team fighting it has no safety net.
Perfect for readers of Stephen Leather, Mick Herron, Daniel Silva and Mark Greaney.
