Tom Marcus served as a surveillance officer for MI5, the UK’s domestic intelligence service, before his career was cut short by PTSD. His memoir Soldier Spy (2016) described his work tracking terrorists and criminals on the streets of Britain, and it became a bestseller.

He followed the memoir with I Spy: My Life in MI5 (2019), which added more detail about his intelligence career, and launched the Matt Logan fiction series with Capture or Kill (2018). The Logan books draw on Marcus’s firsthand knowledge of surveillance tradecraft and counter-terrorism operations.
