Overview

When the world is turned upside down, who can you trust? Cambridge, England - a professor with links to Iran's nuclear programme is found dead on a park bench, a victim of poisoning by persons unknown. At the same time, in New York, USA, a leading cardiologist is killed in an apparent hit-and-run. And in Hamburg, Germany, a successful academic publisher is shot dead on a backstreet. What links the deaths is that the victims were all prominent Iranian emigres, and members of the Tehran Committee, an underground dissident movement. British Secret Intelligence Service agent Sebastian Friend is tasked by 'C' to seek out who was responsible for these murders, a mission which at first seems deceptively simple. But as with so many things in the shadowy world of espionage, all is not what it seems. Friend finds himself in a battle for survival as he follows the trail from London to Tehran and back, untangling a complex web which could throw the entire established world order on its head.

"""I thoroughly enjoyed it. For a first novel it is extraordinarily impressive. Both the plot lines and the detailing are most convincing."" - James Fleming, author of the Doig trilogy ""'The Other Side of Trust is a beautifully-paced espionage thriller, in the best John Le Carre tradition, which both exalts and subverts the myths of spycraft. The research and plotting are impeccable, the dialogue both brisk and tense. Neil Robinson has written a brilliantly executed and compelling novel."" - Christopher Sandford, author and biographer"

As MCC's Head of Heritage & Collections, his job involves, among other things, looking after the Ashes Urn.He has written widely about cricket and sporting heritage for a variety of publications and in 2015 published Long Shot Summer, a book about one of the most humiliating years in English cricket history. His fiction writing covers very different ground. A lifelong lover of spy novels, he takes inspiration from thriller writers like Len Deighton and John Buchan and seeks to create novels with a sense of place and character.Neil lives in south east London, where he spends his free time writing, cooking, hiking, enjoying the odd pint of real ale and following his beloved Gateshead Football Club.
