Author

James Wolff is a British author of espionage fiction. Beside the Syrian Sea is a literary spy thriller set against the backdrop of the Syrian civil war, following a British intelligence officer who goes rogue to rescue his kidnapped father, a Catholic priest held captive in Syria. The novel has been praised for its atmospheric writing,... its moral complexity and its departure from conventional spy thriller conventions, creating a story that is as much about faith, guilt and the limits of loyalty as it is about espionage. Wolff's debut was longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger and established him as a distinctive new voice in the spy fiction genre. His audiobooks and books offer readers intelligent, literary espionage fiction that engages with the real-world complexities of the Middle East. Read more Show less
