A page has been added with my review of the latest book A Duty of Care.

Short version, it’s a good one.

Incidentally 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Gerald Seymour novel, Harry’s Game. Quite an achievement.

The official publication date for A Duty of Care, the 41st novel by Gerald Seymour, is 1 April 2025. But there are copies out in the wild now. I spotted some in a branch of Waterstones today.

And when I arrived home I discovered my complementary copy had arrived, courtesy of Gerald Seymour and his publishers Hodder. I’ll look forward to cracking it open. Review to follow…

And we have a blurb for next year’s novel, A Duty of Care…

Jonas Merrick – a legendary intelligence analyst for MI5 – has been banished to the Post Room of Thames House. There, he is expected to pass his remaining days before inevitable retirement. In a Russian gulag, an MI6 agent has developed an unlikely passion for a prisoner and has come up with an ingenious plan to free her. The key: a ruthless Albanian gang laundering the dirty money of the Russian elite. Merrick, the only agent with the experience to help, is brought back once again to intercept the Albanian courier until an exchange is organised by the Russians. But when it transpires that the courier is the heir of the criminal gang’s leader, the danger mounts, and Merrick once again finds himself in a situation spiralling towards a bloody confrontation. Frighteningly topical and intensely plotted, Jonas Merrick – one of the great figures of modern spy fiction – returns.

A Duty of Care is published on 1 April 2025.

It’s still a long way off but there’s a listing on Amazon UK for what must be the next Gerald Seymour novel.

Titled A Duty of Care, it is listed for publication on 1 April 2025.

There’s no blurb yet that I can see.

I’ve finally had a chance to add my review for the latest Gerald Seymour novel.

You can read it on the new The Best Revenge page.

just a quick reminder that the new Gerald Seymour novel, The Best Revenge, is out now in hardback and ebook formats.

The new Gerald Seymour novel, The Best Revenge, is officially published on 2nd January 2024. But if you’re lucky you might find a copy now. I managed to get a copy of the hardback today in a branch of Waterstones.

Its a significant book as it marks the 40th thriller by Gerald Seymour. It’s also the 4th book in the Jonas Merrick series.

I didn’t recieve a review copy this year so I’ve not had a chance to read it yet. My review will come along eventually.

Happy hunting!

Just a quick note that the third Jonas Merrick book In At the Kill is now out in paperback in the UK
