The Sultan of Zanzire

By Ben Westerham

An old-school espionage thriller in the classic tradition of John Buchan and Erskine Childers.

October 1913. Europe teeters on the edge of chaos.

British secret service agent, Alexander Templeman, is dispatched to Rome to stop a political assassination that could ignite a global war. But the deeper he digs, the more deadly the game becomes.

Hunted through shadowy backstreets and glittering embassies, Templeman must outwit a familiar and ruthless foe, a cunning nemesis with no morals and a personal vendetta. When the bullets start flying, Templeman finds that a new and unexpected partnership may be the only thing standing between Europe and catastrophe.

A web of intrigue. A race against time. A spy who will risk everything.

The Sultan of Zanzire is a fast-paced, richly atmospheric espionage adventure steeped in historical detail. Perfect for fans of The Thirty-Nine Steps, The Riddle of the Sands, and anyone who loves their spy fiction served with danger, deception, and old-fashioned charm.

Light the fire, pour a drink, and lose yourself in a world of spies, secrets, and suspense.
