The Complete Cody: All Five Novels
All five novels in David Brierley's classic, widely-accliamed CODY series of espionage thrillers in one massive ebook edition.
Snowline
The fourth action-packed Cody adventure.
Ex-spy Cody is hired to deliver $100,000 to fund a medical mission in war-torn village in El Salvador...but she's been tricked. There is no medical mission. There isn't even a doctor. There is only a brigade of violent revolutionaries who want that money to fund their international criminal ambitions. But they don't know Cody...who launches her own, one-woman war against the rebel's Snowline, their cocaine smuggling operation to the outside world.
Skorpion’s Death
The third adventure in the classic Cody series of espionage thrillers.
Ex-spy Cody is hired to find a pilot who disappeared with his plane somewhere in North Africa. Her search pits her against Skorpion, a terrorist group plotting to establish radical Islamist caliphates across the Arab world, a discovery that forces her into a brutal, agonizing death-march for survival across Tunisia’s scorching, desert hell-scape.
Reviews For Big Bear, Little Bear
Quietly impressive: a sort of shorthand le Carré novel, yet with its own voice: chillier, more sour, less consciously literary. The lean narrative authority is unmistakable.
A good, tight spy thriller.
A tightly-plotted story skillfully told and jam-packed with dirty tricks. Readers who want spinetingling drama will find that this suspense novel ranks up there with the best of them.
Done with style. Captures the authentic whiff of a seedy decade.
Brierley writes taut chase scenes with surprising twists.
