Friend or Foe?

‘Friend or Foe?’ is a fast-paced thriller set largely in south-west Scotland during World War Two.
It’s late June 1943. Bob and Monique Sutherland’s journey home from Malta is interrupted, first in London to hear Soviet claims of a German spy in Scotland and then by a shoot-out between US military units in Lancashire.
Having returned to Edinburgh, they remain only briefly before travelling with a Military Intelligence 11 team to Galloway to track down the spy. How best to catch a ghost who may already have uncovered vital military secrets? Can they find him before it’s too late?
When two Soviet agents arrive in Galloway to help, Bob and Monique need to work out the difference between friend and foe. Does the German spy exist, or is he a Soviet invention intended to lure MI11 into danger?
'Friend or Foe?' will be published by Arachnid Press on 14 July 2025. The cover design is the work of Carolyn Henry Photography
