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.

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.

The Best Revenge – out now
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!
In At The Kill paperback published
Just a quick note that the third Jonas Merrick book In At the Kill is now out in paperback in the UK
New novel details- The Best Revenge
Details of the next Gerald Seymour novel have appeared online. Titled The Best Revenge, it is the fourth Jonas Merrick novel and is to be published on 2 January 2024.
Here’s the blurb…
On the Mongolian steppes a general in the People’s Liberation Army stakes his career, and his life, on a GPS-free missile guidance system that will change the balance of power on the battlefield.
In Bath a young Chinese woman has secured the affections of a young brainiac working on that very problem.
In Leamington Spa a deep cover operative has given himself away.
And in London Jonas Merrick watches all, assessing, planning. A moment, perhaps, for him to strike a blow to China’s espionage network in the UK.
One thing he does not see, however, is in Moscow. An order given: ‘bring me his head’.
Tautly plotted and frighteningly authentic Best Served Cold cements Jonas Merrick as one of the great figures of modern spy fiction.
