THE WORD IS OUT

  • Stephen Lewis

    "Bickford's gripping portrayals of the espionage world and his book's bleak ending invite comparison to le Carré's 'The Spy Who Came in From the Cold', and Graham Greene's timeless classic 'The Human Factor'.

    Stephen LewisThe Press, York
  • Kathleen Kent

    "Drawing on his vast knowledge of the complex and dangerous workings of the UK's intelligence agencies, David Bickford has created a fascinating world of international intrigue, featuring a female protagonist who is cunning, ferocious and unstoppable. 'Katya - The Informer' is a whirlwind spy novel that will leave you breathless and impatient for a sequel.'

  • THE GUARDIAN

    “David Bickford has used his inside knowledge and experience of Britain’s Security & Intelligence Agencies to write an immensely readable modern thriller. Placed against a background of contemporary international politics and intrigue, it is a fast moving read which is both compelling and frightening.”
