" It was a dark night, with only occasional scattered lights, glittering like stars on the plain. It flashed upon me suddenly: they were going to shoot me!"

Drawing on his vast knowledge of the complex and dangerous workings of 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.
Kathleen Kent
Superb. Masterful storytelling. And an authoritative insight into the secret world and its flawed yet remarkable inhabitants. Highly recommended.
Matthew Dunn
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
David Bickford is a legend from the world of espionage and counter espionage. He has brought his rich experience to bear on a stellar series of novels that bring to life the many complex challenges confronting spies and national security in the 21st century. A five star recommendation.
James Adams
The author's experience of that world shines through...tremendous pace that never lets up...reminiscent of John le Carré
Sir Stephen Lander
A tightly wound plot of intrigue, corruption and the terrible dilemmas involved in fighting the war on terror. Bickford uses his inside knowledge of intelligence to crackling effect.
Highly compelling, assured, with that jangling ring of authenticity
Strap yourself in for one hell of a ride!
Bear Grylls OBE
Katya combines just enough professionally informed realism with great plot and character development to hold a former intelligence officer's attention - a great read as only the Brits can do it”
