Description

A past buried in the Cold War. A message that changes everything. A love that never died.

1986, London. James Barker, a young travel executive, takes a lunch break that will alter the course of his life. A chance encounter draws him into a world of shadows - espionage, secrets, and choices that can never be undone.

2018, Barcelona. James is no longer a spy but the CEO of a rising med-tech company. His life appears orderly, controlled, until a single message arrives on his phone: Are you still watching?

The words drag him back into a dangerous game he thought was long behind him. Old handlers resurface. An ex-FSB agent he once loved, Natasha Petrova, steps out of the shadows. And across Europe, a conspiracy unfolds, one that points to Russia's long-term strategy of destabilisation, covert influence, and a plan that foreshadows the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

As past and present collide, James must decide: remain the businessman who builds and protects, or return to the spy who survives in the dark? And can he trust Natasha, or is she the bait in a trap he cannot see?

From bestselling author Wesley Baker comes a taut, evocative spy thriller that blends Cold War tension with modern intrigue. Atmospheric, romantic, and gripping, The Spy Who Found Me is perfect for fans of John le Carré, Daniel Silva, and Mick Herron.
