New covers for The Collaborator and others

After finding the new listing for Beyond Recall last night I also discovered three new covers of some of Gerald Seymour’s earlier novels, namely The Collaborator, The Dealer and the Dead and The Outsiders.

These new covers are in line with the recent cover designs for Battle Sight Zero and A Damned Serious Business. Perhaps more new covers will follow.

Beyond Recall cover and blurb

A cover image and the blurb for the next Gerald Seymour novel, titled Beyond Recall, have now appeared online.

Gary – ‘Gaz’ – Baldwin is a watcher, not a killer. Operating with a special forces unit deep in Syria, he is to sit in a hide, observe a village, report back and leave.

But the appalling atrocity he witnesses will change his life forever.

Before long, he is living as a handyman on the Orkney islands, far from Syria, far from the army, not far enough from the memories that have all but destroyed him.

‘Knacker’ is one of the last old-school operators at the modern MI6 fortress on the Thames. He presides over the Round Table, a little group who meet in a pub and yearn for simpler, less bureaucratic times.

When news reaches Knacker that the Russian officer responsible for the Syrian incident may be in Murmansk, northern Russia, he sets in motion a plan to kill him. It will involve a sleeper cell, a marksman and other resources – all unlikely to be sanctioned by the MI6 top brass, so it must be done off the books.

But first, he will need a sure identification. And for that, he needs a watcher…

Full of surprise, suspense and betrayal, Beyond Recall is a searching novel of moral complexity and a story of desperate survival.

Beyond Recall is published in hardback in the UK on 9 January 2020.
